Server Version#: Version 1.28.1.6104 Good morning, This is my first attempt at trying to figure out what is going on. A few months ago I recently built a brand new server to migrate everything off my personal PC (i512600K, 16GB DDR4 3600, 1TB M2 980 Pro)., I have a handful of people who use my se…

Don’t run Plex as a Service, Login or auto login.

Sorry to sound dumb, can you elaborate?

I installed the Plex Media Server for Windows at the standard Downloads page at Plex.tv. Plex is started when windows starts up. The icon can be seen in the system tray about 5 seconds after start up. Don’t know if it impacts anything but fast boot has been disabled too.

Thanks Otto, I’ve upgraded to that version.

Your logs indicate that you either created a service to run Plex or are using a 3rd party program to start Plex when you boot up the machine. You would disable it and then login with user/password like normal. As Otto pointed out there is an update to correct hanging/crashes on Windows.

Ah okay. I created a scheduled task the other day to try to get it to start back up in the event that the server crashed. Could that be what you’re speaking of? Besides that I have not done anything besides use the installer on the download page.
