GUI:Plex Media Player Stuck On Full Screen
Test environment **PMP Version:1.16.5.1554 **Platform (Windows/OSX/Embedded):Windows 10 Pro
Steps to reproduce Start Application: "C:\Program Files\Plex\Plex Media Player\PlexMediaPlayer.exe" Start Any Video Playback Toggle Fullscreen On Exit Program Via "Alt + F4" Restart Application Current behavior Application starts in fullscreen with no taskbar available to get back to windowed screen. Expected behavior Application starts in windowed mode.
Additional information. After the application starts in fullscreen starting any video playback and toggling fullscreen button accomplishes nothing. After the application starts in fullscreen pressing alt + space then presisng M to move the window causes some really funky features on a multiple monitor setup.
When exited in fullscreen we intentionally restart in fullscreen. This is long standing behavior that we don't plan on changing or allowing user configuration. But,
After the application starts in fullscreen starting any video playback and toggling fullscreen button accomplishes nothing.
This doesn't sound right. You should be able to escape full screen.
Can confirm this issue: For me, it seems even worse. I can't leave fullscreen whatsoever. Not even when on home screen.
Can confirm. PMP: 3.104.2 on Windows 10 Pro x64 1909. Triple monitor setup. Am also unable to move (WIN+Arrow keys) the application to another screen. Only way to accomplish: https://github.com/plexinc/plex-media-player/issues/915 Pull the DP cable (all my screens are attached via DP. 1*1080p on my onboard intel GPU, 2 on my RTX2070 (1080p + 4K). But it will allways start on my leftmost screen.
i found a Workaround. go into your AppData\Local\PlexMediaPlayer and just delete everything. (this is just the player so no media lost anyway) after that you just need to login again and you are back in windowed mode.
its stupid but it works...
Fix I found myself which worked for me. Close Plex player Go to your windows install drive (C) users/YOURUSER/AppData/Local/Plex Open plex.ini At the botom delete everything after [ui] Should reset the ui and fix it.
