Here you go… > [@Just updated to PlexMediaServer-1.40.0.7998-c29d4c0c8-aarch64](https://forums.plex.tv/t/just-updated-to-plexmediaserver-1-40-0-7998-c29d4c0c8-aarch64/869225/3): > > As per the actual message… you get to see this while the server is processing the update. In this particular case, the upgrade to PMS 1.40.0 contains a significant amount of updates to the database structure. Depending on the size of your database and how powerful you server is, this might take a moment. From the [release announcement](https://forums.plex.tv/t/plex-media-server/30447/612): Please also be patient when updating to this version if you have a very large database and allow the upgrade process to finish. ---

Me too. I recently upgraded to Synology’s DSM7 and installed a new download of Plex, which has been anything but clear. Does this message "() mean “it’s working torebuild your libraries etc and will eventually finish” or "tough luck, it’s just stuck in a rut and won’t be back"£? ---

> [@andrewbarr05](#): > > `Plex Media Server is currently running startup maintenance tasks` Means just that, Its running some database upgrades/tasks and needs some time to finish the process. On most systems it should resolve itself in less than 30 minutes. ---

Most likely not, unless your drives are nearly full and/or your media collection is insanely extensive. I recommend 1.

Thank you Otto. I will just leave my PC/NAS to talk for a few more hours. I’m afraid I find it beyond annoying that Synology/Plex talk to each other so poorly. What is the point of complex upgrade/installation processes that don’t tackle the whole job? ---
