Me too, just started recently. CPU has been running at 99% with Plex, overheats and shuts down. The process is the Plex transcode service, but I’ve throttled that back in settings and it’s still using all resources.

Has anyone heard a fix for this? It’s now causing BSOD.
I have the same problem. On my Windows 10 desktop, ProcessExplorer reports PlexHostScript.exe as constantly consuming ~30% CPU. I have video thumbnail generation, chapter thumbnail generation, etc all turned off. There are various reports about this on the wider internet e.g. https://www.reddit.com/r/PleX/comments/8jp574/plex_server_python_high_cpu_usage/ but no-one seems to have any answers.
