This gives us what we need to launch Plex from a command line. The ‘Target type’ value of the properties is key. View the properties of this ShortCut (see below). Find Plex and create a shortcut to it on the desktop by either dragging it or right-clicking.

I am working on the basis that you already have the Plex app installed and working in Windows 10 and are using the Microsoft IR transceiver.

In this guide, I am going to work on the Green Button.
