Windows 10: Power Plan for Plex Server

Running a plex server from laptop, I have it set to never sleep. I'm not worried about power consumption only hardware degradation. Anyone here who's running plex do you keep your server on 24/7?

Power plan?

Upon checking, it seems that there's nothing wrong with your system. It is usual that you have to double-click your mouse before your monitor wakes up.

For the meantime, we suggest changing the power plan by following the steps below:

• Press Windows key + S.
• Type in Power Settings.
• On the pop-up window, choose Additional power settings.
• Select High performance.

After changing the power plan, we suggest that you monitor the changes made and check if that will work for you.

After PLEX update program unusable, can't find server

The last time I logged into PLEX, I saw the message to update. I did. Now PLEX says my Plex Server is unavailable. After trying everything I could think of, I decided to completely uninstall PLEX. I'm not sure I accomplished that correctly since I cannot reinstall PLEX MEDIA SERVER or PLEX. I have never understood the difference in these two downloads. I never get any options to specify a new PLEX server or any other options. Can someone walk me (not a geek) through the uninstall and the download and reinstall? I did have the foresight to backup the entire PLEX MEDIA SERVER folder, but I need a step-by-step tutorial, please

 

Power plans automatically changing

Hi Jonah,

Thank you for contacting Microsoft Community. I understand that you have an issue with power plans.
I will surely help you to fix this issue.

This issue could have occurred due to incorrect Power settings. Try the steps listed here:

Method 1:

Let’s run the power troubleshooter and check if that helps.

a. Press Windows key on the keyboard.

b. In the search box, type Troubleshooting and press
Enter.

c. Click on ‘System and Security’ and click on ‘Power’ click on next to run the troubleshooter.

Method 2:

If the issue persists, I suggest you to
restore the power plans to default and check if it helps.

Step 1: Reset and restore the power plans to default:

• 
  Right-click on
  Start button and click on Command Prompt (Admin).
  
• 
  In the command prompt, type powercfg –restoredefaultschemes
  and hit Enter.
  
• 
  Exit command prompt.
  

Note: This would reset the power plan settings to default. Any customized power plans are would be removed.



Step 2:

Once the power plan is reset to default, you may create a
new power plan and customize the same according to your needs.
