It looks like you have two instances of Plex Media Server running (see the path is duplicated?). This does not seem normal. Could you check Task Manager and see how many instances are active?

Looks like I had at least 2. I have been having issues with PaaS and Plex since the last few updates.

I ended everything that had “Plex” in it and relaunched Plex. It is working now.
