Hello,  
Everytime my computer reboots my plex server is not found and it takes me hours get it to work and I never know what exactly makes it happen. Any suggestions?

Server Version#:  
Player Version#:  
\<If providing [server logs](https://support.plex.tv/articles/200250417-plex-media-server-log-files/) please do NOT turn on verbose logging, only [debug logging](https://support.plex.tv/articles/201643703-reporting-issues-with-plex-media-server/#toc-1) should be enabled\>

It appears to be running, but maybe not.

You can set it to start up after logging into Windows if it is not already.

Thanks, I ended up deleting the plex server and reinstalled, that fixed it last time. Now I am getting this error. I am a super novice.
