We wanted to let you all know that Plex Media Server will no longer receive updates for 32-bit versions of Windows. The last supported release for 32-bit systems is version 1.42.2.
Why? Due to recent changes in how we build and deploy Plex Media Server, we’re no longer able to publish new 32-bit builds. Microsoft also ended mainstream support for Windows 10 in October 2025. While Microsoft does offer an Extended Security Updates program that provides security patches through October 2026, that program only covers critical security fixes — not feature updates — and it represents the final chapter for Windows 10 support overall.
What you can do: Many systems currently running a 32-bit version of Windows actually support 64-bit operating systems. We’d encourage you to check whether your hardware supports a 64-bit version of Windows. If it does, upgrading your OS would allow you to continue receiving the latest versions of Plex Media Server, along with broader security and feature updates from Microsoft going forward.
Your existing Plex Media Server (v1.42.2) will continue to work for now, but it won’t receive new features, bug fixes, or security patches from us going forward (and it’s possible that future Plex changes could impact such old, non-updated installs).
