Kinda of a question, bug, or maybe even a feature request regarding plexmediaserver

So for some reason this package force restarts my PC whenever I install it or update it, this person in the Disquis comments of the package has the issue as well:

Either disabling this as default, or adding an argument to disable force restarts (if this is the intended behaviour), would be really nice as this package is basically unusable for me due to this issue.

I looked at the meager documentation for the installer, and I see nothing that mentions restarts, or avoiding restarts. I do not believe this is a chocolatey issue because I've never seen choco force a reboot. It usually just reports that a reboot is required. I'm kind of at a loss as to how to troubleshoot this.

Is this happening every time, or is it something you can easily recreate? If so perhaps we could try updating right on the command line using the same command choco does, but removing choco from the rebooting equation.

Can confirm, doesn't occur with the standard updater

Yes, and yes.

If there are any log files you need, or maybe a video of it just occuring lmk, idk if I can create a screen recording, since it prompts a restart, but I can try.

Very strange. Can you attach the relevant portion of your chocolatey.log file? Mine is in C:\ProgramData\chocolatey\logs.

I just submitted an update to choco that properly handles the 3010 return code which the installer appears to return. I'm not sure why it's forcing a reboot, as I don't think choco is even able to force a reboot. It should be available later tonight: 1.24.4.508101

@mikecole Can confirm, fixed in 1.24.4.508101

[mikecole]

Heyyy, great news! Happy that worked because I had no clue what to try next.

Ok, so I encountered this issue again, and realized I was wrong with what I pointed out, it seems like the issue is with exit code 3010, and after a little bit of looking it seems like this exit code is responsible for forced shutdowns.
