Plex Server crashing after google chrome update 98.0.4758.81(Official Build) (64 bit)

Not absolutely sure yet that it’ll fix the problem (just tried the setting myself), but you could try to set a registry key for Google Chrome (the equivalent key exists for Edge) :

  • Run ‘regedit’ to open windows registry (If permission issue came then run that command with Admin command prompt)
  • Go to Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Google\Chrome
  • Create new DWORD value with “InsecurePrivateNetworkRequestsAllowed” Name
  • Change Value to “1”
  • Restart your Browser

Sources : javascript - Chrome 98 Private Network Access problem w/ disabled web security: Request had no target IP address space, yet the resource is in address space local - Stack Overflow
Chrome Enterprise release notes - Chrome Enterprise and Education Help (Private network access preflights for subresources)

At my job we also had a problem with this Chrome version :
Chrome sends a CORS preflight request ahead of any private network requests for subresources, asking for explicit permission from the target server. This request carries a new Access-Control-Request-Private-Network: true header, and the response must carry a matching Access-Control-Allow-Private-Network: true header.
