The problem is that deep behind the scenes in the Windows Registry (or in text-based configuration files on macOS and Linux), there’s an issue with how the login credentials for your account have been stored. The issue manifests itself in a few different ways, but the common element is that when you go to log into your web-based control panel for your Plex server either you can’t access the control panel at all, and get an error like “You do not have permission to access this server.” Or, if you’ve ever dabbled with multiple servers or have removed and installed your Plex server on the same machine with a different account, you’ll be unable to log in with the account you wish to use.

Let’s dig into some arcane settings and get you back to media nirvana. You install the server software, you point your Plex clients at it, and start watching your movies. I would'nt mind if it had never worked but this had been working fine before so i'm a bit confused.For the most part, the Plex Media Server experience is pretty flawless. The only thing I have done is moved the PC to another room but this would not cause this.

What am I doing wrong? (I'm not hugely knowledgable on Plex/Network settings so sure it's something really dumb!) The only thing that has recently changed is the recent windows updates.

I had a google on wake up on LAN settings in Win 11 and went into the network settings to make sure the magic packet to wake the computer, but still does not allow me to wake via Plex Client if the PC has gone to sleep. I know many people may say, well just leave the PC on all the time as that is the point of a server, but I don't see the point of having the machine fuller powered up if im not currently using it, surely better to save a little bit of power.especially as it worked before! I also have the PC going to sleep while streaming content on a Plex client which is a real pain in the However, now if I have the Mini set to go into sleep after a period of time, my Plex clients do not wake the PC from sleep. If I wanted to watch Plex content, then I would open the Plex app on iPad or Apple TV, etc and after a shortdelay the Mini PC would power up and the Plex library would be available, so all good. Up until recently this worked fine, and I had the Plex PC setup to go into sleep after no activity for 30mins. I also have it setup so I can access the media over the network via my main desktop PC. I stream Plex content on my home network to other devices (iPad/Mobile/Xbox/Apple TV, etc). This is running Windows 11 (with latest updates) I have an MSI PRO DP20Z 5M Mini PC setup (Ryzen 5600G/16GB DDR4) which i use for light games and as a Plex server, with a powered external HDD for the media.
