I see you're *still* remote, even though you state you're on the same network. In fact, I see when you're playing from 127.0.0.1 you're also listed as remote. Something is fundamentally wrong with...

The i5-8265U is the Plex server, right? That's where the driver update is required.
It's not clear to me why a Shield would need to transcode for normal 4k HDR. ...

A few thoughts:
1. Driver: Get the latest from Intel. Don’t rely on Windows Updates.
2. It appears you are using a i5-8265U, the ultra-low-power laptop CPU. Is that right? If so, can’t...

What's the date on the Intel video driver you're using?
That's surprising. Plex is very good, particularly with PlexPass.
What's the client that's forcing the transcode?
Are subs in...

The Intel drivers are up to date. Running 1 transcode (4K, 15.4Mbps -> 2160p, 15.4Mbps) bumps the CPU utilization from 75%. Plus buffering every 2 min.
Plex Transcode (32bit) -> 55% CPU, 32% GPU, ...

Not at all. I'm sure your RAM is fine.
So when you're transcoding, what's stressed? Look in Task Manager or Resource Manager, and see what's happening. Dig into the details and you can see...

That's gone down to near zero after implementing the changes you recommended, thanks! The RAM usage is still high (60% system, 10% Plex server). Will upgrading the RAM help with transcodes?

Yes, I know. I am asking what the system is doing when you're at idle that swallows 40% of your CPU. What's happening? That is far from typical. Do you have some massive tasks in the background...

Will do, thanks! The 40% idle usage is by system, not the Plex server. Sorry for the confusion.

Update your intel graphics drivers to the latest version via Intel.com.
And again, what's it doing at idle that it's using 40% CPU?

Sure - buy Plexpass and take advantage of hardware transcoding; it will fix all your CPU issues. Try it for a month to confirm it does what I say, and then buy it - best deal ever. I've had it for...
