Plex Media Server causes Windows Shutdown on Sleep

Server Version#: 1.18.4.2171-ac2afe5f8
Player Version#: N/A
There appears to be an issue with the latest version of Plex Media Server in that if you have Windows set to Sleep after a period of time (e.g. 1 hour) in Windows Power Settings and Plex Media Server is running in the Windows System Tray, instead of sleeping, Windows seems to shut down unexpectedly.
The only solution appears to set Plex Media Server to not run on Windows startup and to manually exit the application when it is not in use to prevent unexpected shutdowns - or set the computer Power settings to Never Sleep; not ideal.

Plex Media Server has no impact on Windows power settings. Are you sure you don’t have a setting enabled to shut down too? And are you sure it shutdown?
