Windows: no longer automatically update on Windows versions older than 10
Our 1.29.0 release is a required update for automatic update from previous application versions.
- Windows 10 and above users on 1.29.x will continue to automatically update as normal.
- Windows 7 and 8 users running 1.29.x will no longer be prompted to install automatic updates.
- MacOS update handling is unchanged.
Plex for Windows player functioning on Windows 7 and 8 has been a coincidence which we can’t guarantee going forward.
Our 1.30.0 release will go further and restrict installation to Windows 10 and above.
Windows 7 and 8 users are strongly encouraged to update. If this isn’t practical for your situation, here is the 1.29.0 Windows installer which will still permit installation on Windows 7 and 8 after 1.30.0 is released.
