Server Version#: 1.31.1.6733 I have been using Windows 10 as a Plex server for some time now. The windows machine specs is a Minis Forum x400 AMD Ryzen 7 Pro 4750G 3.60GHz with 64GB RAM. I have been using the hardware acceleration setting as long as it has been available when I used to have an Inte…

Sucks to hear someone else having this hard lock as you call it. It’s an accurate name. It is sad that no one has chimed in who has experience with troubleshooting.

@FordGuy61 I do specifically remember the computer hard locking up when Hereditary on the Roku player caused it. Mind you the computer only locks up moments after a stream occurs and one time I was able to replicate it over and over again for a specific movie with the remote user. But it does happe…
