Is anyone else having the problem of PMS shutting down automatically when the computer locks/logs off in windows 10? I have tried power settings for the power profile as well as the network adapter. It started happening all of a sudden about 4 months ago and I can’t figure out why. ---

> [@ramv1o77](#): > > when the computer locks/logs off in windows 10 When the user logs off, that would be expected as the Plex Media Server session is running within the logged in user session You can use the Plex Service Wrapper solution offered by @cjmurph [PMS As A Service](https://forums.plex.tv/t/pms-as-a-service/53381) to run Plex Media Server as a Service and that way log off would not have any impact ---
