"from the windows service console" - Yes. I would llike to ensure this does in fact work correctly, however I must ask why you would even restart the service? The service itself should always remain running, and plex should be started and stopped from the tray icon (which doesn't start and stop the service, just plex). I'll remove it from the list for the next release.

Plex update service will always come back as it is actually a windows service itself and I shouldn't even be attempting to kill it. On the three test machines I have, it behaves exactly as expected, with one caveat. I absolutely cannot replicate what you're showing for a restart case. So, there really shouldn't be any "orphaned" processes left behind, unless the shutdown procedure is cut short for some reason. The service doesn't keep tabs on the supporting processes, other than, when plex stops, it has a list of process names to hunt down and kill. please correct me if you're doing something else. When you say restarting, I assume you mean from the windows service console. Hopefully you can reproduce this but do let me know if you need any more information. The expected outcome is that there are no Plex Media Server service account processes running Using Task Manger, note that several processes are still running as the Plex Media Server service account.

Using the Windows "Services" MMC snap-in, stop the "Plex Service" Windows service.Using Task Manger, note processes running as the Plex Media Server service account again.Right-click the Plex Service notification area icon and choose "Start Plex".Using Task Manger, note that now no processes are running as the Plex Media Server service account.Right-click the Plex Service notification area icon and choose "Stop Plex".Using Task Manger, note that several processes are running as the Plex Media Server service account.Start the Plex Service Windows service (it starts Plex Media Server).
