#Plex media server not opening windows update#
#Plex media server not opening windows software#

I have checked the processes and services, and there seems to be nothing related to Plex running at all. I do have Plex setup on a laptop running Windows 10, just for testing. People have had issues running Plex on Windows 10. To access the web manager, you can start via the system tray icon, Right Click the Plex icon and choose Media Manager - media manager should appear in your default broswer. I know that several people have found it running in the taskbar without their knowledge. Plex media server runs in the background. This is not a situation where the server is running, but I simply cannot see it.

(Library) Allow deletion of play history. (Gaming) Windows Fix hang stopping game. I then tried uninstalling completely, and reinstalling, but that also seems to do nothing. (Gaming) Windows Fix games not being copied over to app support. I initially tried downloading the latest version and “Repairing” the server, but that didn’t help. I had added a couple of hard drives to the system that already had several video files, and I tried to open the server UI to add those files to the respective “Movies” and “Shows” titles, but the server refused to open. I first noticed it when I moved my PC from the office to home. Have tried so many different forum topics for advice, so if anyone knows the quick answer to this I would be eternally said:Īdmittedly, this is problem a problem I have created, but I have not been able to get my Plex media server to start for several days, now. I have tried downloading the NAS and the Windows versions to see if one would work inplace of the other, but have the exact same issue. Got loads of stuff on my PC HDD and on my NAS but Plex cannot detect the server.

Uninstalled and reinstalled software more times that I can remember - restarted PC each timeĪlso uninstalled and/or repaired the software too

Registry = No log file for Plex (have done a thorough search)

Icon appears in system tray = successful - BUT, then it disappears as soon as you move cursor over itĭevices = No PMS, just Plex Update Service (Running)

I was advised to switch to Plex, hence I am here.įor the last few months I have spent hours trying to sort this out. I use a Roku but my PC can no longer communicate with it, I also used a basic media streaming app. Apologies for tagging onto this, but I have had the same issue for months (since upgrading PC to Windows 10). Click the + (add library) icon at the top left, just after your servers host name, to start adding media: Start by adding (associating) some music with your Plex server by simply selecting the correct icon: Navigate to your iTunes, Media Center media backups and add one or more directories to the Plex library: Then, wait a while as the server.
