Plex Media Server 1.16.x.xxx Crashes after migration

Server Version#: 1.16.1.1291
Player Version#: 3.95.2

My hard drive/server stopped working due to PSU issues, however the entire data was fine. It was only a Hyper-V issue. So, I reinstalled the server and migrated over the “Plex Media Server” working data as per https://support.plex.tv/articles/201370363-move-an-install-to-another-system/

However, obviously I was not able to switch off the “Empty trash automatically after every scan” preference before closing the source server, because it was off.

The Plex Media Server seems to crash once a day, regularly.

Am I not going to get any support on this?

I think I may have fixed it by rolling back a few versions of Plex Media Server and then incrementally upgrading back to the latest version. A kind-of reference to this [Crash - Nightly] - 1.15.3.876, 1.15.4.919, 1.15.4.994, 1.15.8.1198 and 1.16.1.1291- Windows Plex PMS - Plex Media Scanner has stopped working
If it doesn’t crash after 12 hours, then I have a feeling the problem is solved.

I think the crashing was due to the fact that I had migrated using a newer installer package than when the server was running pre migration/final crash.

Nope. Just crashed.

I have now rolled back to version 1.15.8.1198 after rolling back and testing rollback 1.16.2.1297 then 1.16.0.1226 respectfully due to crashes.

Still running without crash on version 1.15.8.1198.
Awaiting on support as to where to go from here.
