> lex is on Windows Server 2019. Plex is crashing occasionally and I see it is automatically submitting the crash report to plex. When I examine the logs I see no smoking gun. I also don’t see an app crash in event logs. What is the best method to isolate reason for crash? Server isn’t running as a service - just logging into the system and manually running PMS.

I’m also see issues when people use an AppleTV and my server transcodes to them. I made a post about a month ago, still no reply.

CPU spiked to 100% fans went crazy and plex crashed. [plex logs.zip](https://forums.plex.tv/uploads/short-url/rnRbNfxj8jfAcJJabFuqOS5bdHz.zip) (4.0 MB)
