Plex Media Server prevents Windows 10 sleep/hibernation (both PC AND monitors)

i have the no-sleep-issue as well.

i deactivated all the dlna-automatic-scan-update-maintance-stuff in pms with no success. i also allowed the mentioned energy-setting, that the computer can go to sleep while sharing media.

no matter what i did, cmd-command “powercfg /requests” or “powercfg /energy” always tells me, that “c:…\plexmediaserver.exe” is preventing the system from going to sleep. btw the monitor is going to sleep after the configured monitor-shut-down-time.

sleep works fine without pms running.

any ideas? thanks in advance!
