Could not start media server on windows 10.  
Can you please help me with that?

I have never seen that before. Which makes me think that either your Plex installation is damaged or you have some other software installed on your computer which is interfering.

Make a fresh installation, like so:

- Stop/quit/end Plex Server with the tray icon
- deinstall Plex Server with the regular ‘Apps’ control panel of Windows (do **not** use 3rd party ‘Uninstaller’ software like Revo etc.)
- for safety, reboot Windows
- download the installation exe of Plex server and install it

(If you want to install an **older** version of PMS, take a look into `%LOCALAPPDATA%\Plex Media Server\Updates`)

Maybe disable your anti virus or other “watchdog” type software as a test.
