After verifying your Plex Home is correct, you can now claim the server as yours.

Step 1: Verify Plex account

  • Go Here: https://app.plex.tv/desktop/
  • Click on the user icon in the upper right corner of the browser window
  • Make sure the correct username is displayed.
  • If not, sign out, then sign in with the correct account.

Step 2: Quit Plex Media Server

  • Right click on the Plex Media Server icon in the taskbar.
  • Choose Exit.

Step 3: Ensure all Plex tasks are stopped

  • Launch Windows Task Manager (Windows key + R, enter taskmgr, click OK)
  • Select Processes tab, click on Name column (to sort by name).
  • Plex processes are listed in the Background Processes section.
  • If any running processes begin with Plex, right click on them and choose End Task.

Step 4: Go here: https://app.plex.tv/desktop/#!/settings/devices/pms

  • If the server is listed, remove it.
  • Remove any other old/outdated server entries.

Step 5: Remove Windows Registry Entries

  • Using one of the methods mentioned in my first post, remove the registry entries.
  • Do this even though you did it earlier.

Step 6: Reboot the PC.

Step 7: Reclaim Plex Media Server
