Plex won't update!

Server Version#:1.42.2.10156
Player Version#:Not sure

Windows 11

When I log into Plex I see that the Plex Media Server has an update from Version 1.42.2.10156 to Version 1.43.1.10611 but when I download and install, nothing happens, even if I leave the plex alone for hours, if I click “Retry connection” it refreshes and says the same thing, saying I need to update to 1.43.1.10611!

  • Stop/quit/end Plex Server with the tray icon
  • deinstall Plex Server with the regular ‘Apps’ control panel of Windows
    (do not use 3rd party ‘Uninstaller’ software like Revo etc.
    do not use “Registry Cleaner/optimizer” software like CCleaner et al)
  • for safety, reboot Windows
  • download the installation exe of the newer version and install it. Ensure to select the 64bit version.

So after looking into this better, I uninstalled the windows Plex Media Server and installed Plex Media Server from Windows Store and it seems to have worked
