I am on Windows 10 and have downloaded Plex media centre. I went through the setup but when I try to launch the program nothing happens. I can open Plex media player on my pc without issue, but Plex media server will not open ---

The server does start in the background. It’s a server, not a player. The sign that it’s running is a Plex logo in your task tray. Point your web browser to the address [http://127.0.0.1:32400/web](http://127.0.0.1:32400/web) What happens? ---
