I’ve had the same problem. It was working when I first installed both Plex Server and the Windows 10 app, but soon thereafter would not launch. I get a blank window with a Plex title on it but no content in the window. The program definitely doesn’t launch for me even after a re-install, reboot, etc. I’ve had some help with a moderator on a different thread but couldn’t understand the response.

I’m also having a similar issue.

Server version: 1.21.4.4079
Operating system: Windows 10.0.19041.906

My issue is that when trying to launch Plex, it just pops up with a dialog box that says “ERROR” no further info given, just the single word.

Plex is not shown as running in task manager for me.

Since Plex won’t even start, I don’t have any logs to share (unless they’re stored in a different location than either of these) -
%LOCALAPPDATA%\Plex Media Server\Crash Reports
%LOCALAPPDATA%\CrashDumps

I’ve already tried rolling back windows updates, and rolling back the version of plex media server to previous versions which I knew were working.

I browsed around the forums and tried the .dll swap talked about in this thread, but no luck: MFPlat.DLL issues with Windows 10 Pro N - #2 by BobSnot

Super bummed cause I just got a Plex pass, and now the media server won’t work. :frowning:

Plex app will not launch for me either. I hit the plex icon, i get the system blue spinning icon like it’s about to launch, then nothing happens and it stops spinning.
