Until very recently, I was able to open Plex on Windows 11 without any issues. Since a few days, when I try to open Plex nothing happens. I can see the app in the taskbar but when I try to click it, nothing happens. When I hover over the app in the taskbar, I see this:

Is there any way to resolve this?

Did you use the app with an external monitor which is no longer connected (or did you change your screen configuration in any way recently)?

Nope and Nope. I even uninstalled and reinstalled the app. Same issue. I can’t think of anything that has changed on my system as well.

close the player
Go to the data folder C:\Users\<yourusername>\AppData\Local\Plex
or
%LOCALAPPDATA%\Plex
and edit the file plex.ini
Scroll to the bottom and remove the whole section [ui].
Save, then start again.

This worked. Thank you.
