Plex - Claim Server immediately followed by Not Authorized

Server Version#: Version 4.87.2
Player Version#: N/A

Hi all,

I’ve had plex installed for a couple of years running mostly fine on Windows 11. I was having some issues with remote access and Nord and decided to futz around with it yesterday.

It seemed to spin forever on enabling remote access. When I refreshed, i got not authorized.

I tried logging in/out from everywhere. Tried different browsers. Killed / relaunched plexserver.

Killed registry keys per - https://support.plex.tv/articles/204281528-why-am-i-locked-out-of-server-settings-and-how-do-i-get-in/

relogged in and tried to claim per - How to Claim Your Plex Server

When I click Claim Server, it spins for a bit and then briefly says - ‘there was a problem signing into Plex.’ and then the Claim Server button is clickable again. (At this point the reg keys are regenned and the same again).

Whether I click Claim Server again, or refresh or try to sign out / back in, i’m back to being unauthorized.

From the logs -

Any ideas?

I decided to just destroy it all and start again. you can close this.
