A request for the same feature exists already, and it has more votes. > [@\[Popular\] Create Plex Server as a service (Windows)](https://forums.plex.tv/t/popular-create-plex-server-as-a-service-windows/21022/1): > > Hi, I would like to see Plex Server created as a service on windows, this way you could have the option of starting Plex Server when you turn on the PC. You don’t have to login to an account. It is great when the power goes out, etc… when the PC powers up so does all the Plex goodness. I am not sure if you can do this for Mac and Linux but I am sure they would love it too, if possible. Therefore this one is closed, to prevent spreading the votes across several threads, even though they vote for the same (or at least very similar thing). Votes are given back to the users who voted on this request. Please think of re-voting in the other thread if you still want it. * * * Rules for the Feature Suggestions forum section: - Please **search** before creating a new suggestion thread. - Only one feature per thread.
