Plex Media Server not starting after upgrade to 1.20

After the upgrade this morning Plex server is not starting. I’ve tried rebooting the Windows OS, ti didn’t resolve the issue. If I manually start it, it doesn’t start and I have the following two entries in Windows Application logs:


Anyone with the similar issue?

Looking at the logs further, I can see that the app was updated OK:


But, after that it failed to restart the components:


I can see that it requested a system restart at that point:

But after the system restart it gives out Plex generates warning logs from the original post.

I tried to repair Plex first. Didn’t work. I followed the instructions on Plex Forums and shutdown Plex in the Tray. Stopped Plex Media updates in services. Uninstalled Plex in Control Panel Program uninstall. Did a search on my PC for Plex and found the Plex Update Folder. Clicked on last update from 6/24/2020 instead of 7/22/20…and success. I am now able to stream my media on Plex.

I was a bit more lucky, just managed now to resolve it by doing a reinstall (with repair option).
