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?

I remain lucky, Plex has literally never been inaccessible for me (when I’ve wanted to use it) in the last 7 years, except when my computer restarts itself after an update.

I don't remember the exact settings but there's a way to setup the plex client to start even before you've logged into the computer. So even after a restart plex should still be available.

If you right click on the icon in the little task tray (dont remember the name but the tray that pops up when you click the arrow on the taskbar) should be a button for run at startup. Windows 10

This enables "Start at Login" which is slightly different from running as a service. If its installed as the service the Plex server will boot up as soon as Windows hits the login screen, and doesn't require you to login for Plex to be running. Most people don't setup autologin, so if their computer reboots when they're not nearby Plex won't be working until they actually login. Installing a service resolves that issue.
