Wondering if there a global mutex issue in general here?

Looks related to this: Plex Media Server Crash with Hardware Acceleration Enabled

But unclear why it started recently unless it was due to a Windows upgrade.

I have the exact same issue when trying to run XteVe. When browsing to the path C:\Program Files (x86)\Plex\Plex Media Server\Resources\Tuner\Private\devices\dvb\file\drv_file.ini does not exist there is no drv_file.ini file there.

Should there be??
