Server Version#: 1.24.2.4973 Player Version#: After the latest update, plex was uninstalled from my computer. I did a system restore but my server is not accessible. I am viewing plex through my Firefox browser. How do I reload my server? There is no Wizard at start up. ---

Uninstalling Plex server doesn’t remove the Plex data from the computer. If you uninstall and then re-install the server, everything should work as if nothing changed. If you however have switched to a different email address/Plex username, you might not get access to the server (because it is still bound to the initially used Plex account). This procedure [Why am I locked out of Server Settings and how do I get in? | Plex Support](https://support.plex.tv/articles/204281528-why-am-i-locked-out-of-server-settings-and-how-do-i-get-in/) should enable you to claim the server into a different Plex account. Or you decide to remove all old Plex data first by performing the “thorough” uninstallation [Uninstall Plex Media Server | Plex Support](https://support.plex.tv/articles/201941078-uninstall-plex-media-server/) ---

I am using same plex credentials. I have access to a server that was shared to me that a family member hosts, but not mine. I have tried to uninstall and re-install, but Wizard does not pick up. I will try the steps in the article you have provided and report back. Thank you. ---

I was able to remove the registry and files. Clean install. But no Wizard to set up a server. My server still not available. How do I set up a new server? ---

After starting your server via the Windows start menu, is there a Plex icon in the task tray? If there is, what happens if you open the link [http://localhost:32400/web](http://localhost:32400/web) or [http://127.0.0.1:32400/web](http://127.0.0.1:32400/web) in a web browser on that machine? ---

No plex icon in the taskbar. Going to Program File/Plex/Plex I can run plex.exe. It opens a new window, similar to the web access. My Home Screen is empty. No icon in taskbar. Unable to connect message when going to those 2 addresses ---

Downloaded and installed. Right clicked on the task bar icon and selected update libraries. Edit: Going to [HTtp://127.0.0.1:32400/web](HTtp://127.0.0.1:32400/web) brings up a page, but it’s just spinning right now for the last few minutes. Edit2: After refreshing the page, the service set up wizard picks up. Looks like it was a simple solution. Thank you ---
