Something happened to my OS so I had to reinstall Windows 10. I downloaded, installed and signed into Plex. I go into the settings and the server option simply isn’t there. I can’t find anywhere that I can add libraries. Can someone tell me what’s happened here? I thought about trying a new account but I did pay for the plex pass and don’t want to lose that.
Server Version#: Version 3.108.2
When you log into plex.tv in your browser, make sure to not pick “Login with Google”. Use “Email” instead.
After doing that, perform this procedure:

Awesome that worked! What’s the reason it does that?
Technically, your Goggle account is totally separate from your plex account.
Even though you use a Google email address to log into your plex account.
Yes, it’s a bit confusing.
I can only assume that you used the “Google” authentication after installing the server, which technically signed your server into a different account than what your web browser was signed into.
The procedure did “sync” the web browser and the plex server back into the same account.
You can link your Google account to your plex account. Then it doesn’t matter anymore which method you use to sign in.

I didn’t use Google or Facebook to sign in. I used my username and password.
