Version 1.18.9.2571 - killed my windows 10 64bit plex server

Plex Media Server Desktops & Laptops
1

Server Version#: Version PlexMediaServer-1.18.9.2571-e106a8a91-x86
Player Version#: ? cant check
it looks like version 1.18.9.2571 automatically downloaded the x86 version of PMS and installed Microsoft visual C++ 2015, which I’m reading is not the correct version for 64bit systems running plex.
Plex just spins and spins trying to find the server. When I try to launch it manually, i get the following errors.
VCRUNTIME140.dll was not found
MSVCP140.dll was not found

i cant find the 64bit version of plex for download from the plex site.

Please let me know how to fix this.

I had the exact same issue. I downloaded the Visual Studio 2019 C++ (x64 & x86) redist files and installed them.

thank you, i did exactly the same, uninstalled C++ 2015, installed the 2019 x64 and did a repair of plex and that did it.
