Go back to an old server version,  
(older server versions are available in the subfolder `Updates` in your [plex data folder](https://support.plex.tv/articles/202915258-where-is-the-plex-media-server-data-directory-located/))

Then repair your database.  
Instead of typing all the commands manually, you can use the .bat or the .ps1 script from here [PlexDBRepair/Windows at master · ChuckPa/PlexDBRepair · GitHub](https://github.com/ChuckPa/PlexDBRepair/tree/master/Windows)

If the latest database file is not repairable, go back and restore one of the backups [https://support.plex.tv/articles/202485658-restore-a-database-backed-up-via-scheduled-tasks/](https://support.plex.tv/articles/202485658-restore-a-database-backed-up-via-scheduled-tasks/)  
Then repair that.

(If there are no backups, or the existing backups are months old, you’ll know for how long the corruption was already lurking in there.)

I saw there was a folder with the new update, i opened that and then it installed, it said that it detected a 32 bit version and that would be unintallled, it worked this way. Thanks! 🙂
