Plex Media Server doesn´t start after installation

Server Version#:1.42.2.10156 (x64)
Player Version#:

Windows 11

I have installed Plex Media Server but the program doesn´t start at any time. No error information.

I have uninstalled and reinstalled for several times without success.

Are you going to http://localhost:32400/web after install? There’s no traditional app that opens, the server runs in the background and you access it via browser.

Could the user be suffering from the Win11 localhost bug that MS introduced on Patch Tuesday, Oct 14th?

Yes!

Plex Media Server has been installed correct but it is impossible to start the program!

I cannot open the program in the task bar. The option “open with” is missing….!

So I cannot manage my own medias.

There is no such option. You cannot just open a media file “with Plex” as if Plex was a normal media player. It is not.

Start "Plex Media Server" using the regular Windows Start menu.
Then open the Windows task tray area and look for the Plex logo.

Once you see this, double-click on the Plex logo.
