PMP fails to start with “Could not create EAE working directory” error!

Post Body
Without warning Plex Media Player (running on Windows 7, yeah I know) fails to start with the following error in the logs:
2020-10-04 13:54:55 [ FATAL ] main.cpp @ 259 - Unhandled FatalException: Could not create EAE working directory.
I’ve tried repairing Windows, repairing PMP, uninstalling and reinstalling PMP and the error persists. There is nothing in the Plex Server logs.
My Google searches show a couple of posts in the Plex forums which suggests that I have two options:
- Uninstall everything Plex related (including Plex server!), blitz the registry of anything Plex related and then reinstall everything again (or)
- Completely format and re-install Windows and then reinstall everything again.
I’d really rather do neither of these. Can anyone help?
