I just made a fresh install of Windows 10 on a new computer and I wanted to port my Plex server over to it. So I moved my hard drives over and installed the Plex server. Only problem is, when I click on the open Plex button, it just shows the Plex logo forever and if I manually go open it up in a web browser, there’s no servers listed for me. I deleted the old server since I figured I would just have to remake it, no biggy, but its not even initializing. I’ve tried reinstalling twice now, same goes for rebooting. I even did a complete uninstall where I did the regedit thing, etc.

I made sure all my ports are open too.

Its been awhile since I set this thing up, am I missing a step?
