Plex media server doesn' t work HELP

When you say “nothing happens” when opening Plex Media Server… do you get an error message of any kind? Running the Plex Media Server app is not supposed to open a window / UI… it’ll run in the background – with only the icon in the system tray showing it’s there.

If it’s dead on start… can you manually collect the server logs, zip them and attach that file here?

C:\Users\<your user name>\AppData\Local\
