Which Windows user account is being selected to run Plex in?

Anyway, you probably rather want to use [PMS as a service](https://forums.plex.tv/t/pms-as-a-service/53381/1)  
as it’s much cleaner a solution.  
Just make sure to tell the service to run under the same Windows user account that you are using normally.  
And keep in mind: you cannot use drive letters connected to network file shares.
