I just recently started to have issues with being able to run the Plex Media server. I have uninstalled and reinstalled multiple times. PMS shows it’s running in task manager. However, I never have a system tray icon. I can find it by launching from the website but, the local server always comes up as unavailable. I’ve been at this for days now. Please help!

Changed default browser to chrome. Restarted and received an error on start up.
