Those x and y values are putting the window out somewhere in the Twilight Zone. We’ll add a guard that prevents this from happening. In the meantime:

  • Quit Plex for Windows
  • Open %LOCALAPPDATA%\Plex\plex.ini in a text editor like Notepad
  • Delete the [ui] section. It’ll look like mine below[1]
  • Save changes
  • Relaunch Plex for Windows
  • We should pop up in the center of the primary display

Example to delete:

[ui]
visibility=2
windowHeight=410
windowStates=0
windowWidth=728
windowX=243
windowY=753
