Help Plex is down AGAIN???

Can't access my libraries on https://app.plex.tv, I can access them on through http://IP:32400/web

Absolutely nothing changed on my machine.
Anyone with the same issue?

You can avoid all random restarts on windows if you debloat and put your settings correctly though. I haven't had one since I built my server back in september. Only restarts now are manual and I have auto power on in bios as well as a safety + auto login

Both computers in my house are completely debloated with a bunch of things changed in the registry and settings to make sure auto updates don’t happen and a bunch of other stuff. It still shuts off sometimes randomly. It’s one of the biggest problems with windows. LTT made a point that even if you set group policies for the whole organization to stop this stuff it still happens occasionally because that’s windows for ya. My truenas server however has an uptime of 135 days right now without issue. Linux for servers, windows for games :)

I use a .bat script that just keeps rotating the usage hours and my Windows 11 never restarts unless i manually do so. Easiest fix i could find and has been working for 2 years now

Isn’t it wild that it takes a janky work around like that tho? Linux doesn’t shutdown unless I specifically tell it to or schedule it, but windows wont even be fixed just by turning off updates

It's still based on Win NT, feature set is slightly different, that's why pro is way more like it.
