Server Version#: latest Player Version#: latest for xbox Let me share my scenario… My pc is Windows 11. It had 1 user only, the admin user (Microsoft account). I installed plex server from Microsoft Store, configured it, added my libraries and was able access my current from my Xbox. So I decided to make things easier to me. I decided to implement auto logon on my windows. I created a second account, a local account. I logged on with this new user and couldn’t find the plex server. So I downloaded the plex server from plex website, installed, set it up and I logged into my plex account. The plex server under this local user account can’t detect my content and can’t be detected. My question is: As plex is running under Admin perfectly, is there a way to logon in windows with my second user and have the plex server app and running? Maybe installing it as a windows server and associate it to a system account? Or How to install and configure the plex server under my local account without having to add all my libraries again?

This is not official or affiliated with Plex in any way and was originally made for personal use. Treat it as such and please don’t bug the Plex devs about it. (bug them about Plex not running as a service natively by all means :P) feel free to post your questions here and I will do my best to help. If you are having problems, the first question will be whether it runs ok when not being run as a service. Please ensur… ---
