Server Version#: 1.29.1.1974 (running via QNAP NAS) Player Version#: 1.29.1.1974 For a while now, I’ve been using the web player since the Windows player will not open. I can install it fine but whenever I try to open it, nothing happens. This is a fairly new computer running Windows 10 pro. P…

I fixed this issue by deleting the appdata for plex In windows file manager, go to c:\users%your user name%\appdata\local Delete the Plex folder Start Plex The App should now start but you will need to re-login

I have the same issue. Plex is no longer available on Microsoft Store. I re-installed from the Plex site and it no longer works. It installs normally and appears to be installed normally, but when I try to run it, it just sits with a blank screen.

Ditto, downloaded the Windows player from Plex site, installed ok, won’t launch (no error, no popup, nothing in event logs, nada). I’m still using Chrome browser just fine, though. Note: I’m trying the Windows player because music “play next”, or queue period, doesn’t work. System: High-end Window…

Same here with the last version (1.30.0.2105) on a fresh win 10 pro install. But work fine with the 1.29.0.1885 version.

I tried clearing all settings from appdata\local\Plex and it lets it launch exactly once (although the…

Updated Plex for Windows… Now I can’t watch Plex. Where are the previous version downloads?

1.30.0 did fix a first-run startup crash but it was only the first run that should have been affected. If you’re seeing the app not launch at all, please launch it then provide %LOCALAPPDATA%\Plex\Logs\Plex.log. It may include a bit of useful information. If you’re seeing the app start up to a sol…

It starts up to a WHITE screen (Not Responding), it never goes black.

Logs and testing information would be really appreciated.

1.30.0 has been rolled back to 1.29.1 on our downloads site. So, first-run crash is back but the new blank screen reports should be eliminated.

Lots of personal info in these logs… I’ll be deleting in 5 min. Edit: Deleted. DM me for logs if you still need them.
