Server Version#: 1.42.1.10060
Hello.
I run Plex Server as a scheduled task. The database and settings are located in C:\Plex. However, the update service (PlexUpdateService) deletes the “LocalAppDataPath” key, which I use to make this note. To temporarily resolve this, I disabled the “PlexUpdateService” service. Is there a solution?
Which Windows user account are you using to start the Plex server task?
What kind of user account is this?
In which registry user branch did you create the LocalAppDataPath key?
Check the path to the Plex Media Server.exe which is called by the scheduled task. Ensure it is pointing to the 64 bit version of the PMS .exe – i.e. C:\Program Files\Plex\Plex Media Server\Plex Media Server.exe
and NOT C:\Program Files (x86)\Plex\Plex Media Server\Plex Media Server.exe
Have you ever downgraded to an 32bit version of Plex Server?
Ensure that you have only the 64bit version installed.
Consider switching to PMS as a service
It’s a 64-bit version.
Problem solved. Before loading Plex Server, I add the registry key: reg add “xxxxxxxx\Software\Plex, Inc.\Plex Media Server” /v “LocalAppDataPath” /t REG_SZ /d “C:\Plex” /f
Thank you.
