as the title says plex media server is preventing windows from entering sleep mode according to the power and sleep settings i have had it set to for as long as i can remember and it has never before prevented sleep mode. after the latest update using command prompt’s powercfg /requests command i get this message

AWAYMODE:

i have tried the steps from old forum posts describing the same issue, trying to change DLNA settings and supporting away mode when preventing system sleep with no results. what can i do to make plex let windows sleep again?

Any update on this? I have the exact same issue.

no updates or replies that have been helpful anywhere, plex really needs to get some proper support staff cause this is ridiculous

I had the same problem, win10. My solution:
Browser - Plex - settings - DLNA - disable “DLNA server timeline reporting” → save changes. Thereafter suspend mode worked again.
