Hello guys,

Last night I upgraded my Win7 to Win10 and now I discovered that PlexConnect is not working anymore and I am desperate because I want to use tonight to see a movie with my family :confused:

Anyone experience the same problem? Any fix for this?
I tried to install everything again, creating new certificates, etc… but always same problem :confused:

Here goes my log:

Port 80 blocked/in use… was discussed in a parallel thread already. I’m not sure if it’s the same, but have a look!

Thank you for your reply and help buddy :slight_smile:

My problem is now solved after reading this thread:

World Wide Web Publishing Service is using port 80 and must be stopped.
