I updated to 9/23/2020 MCEBuddy 2.5.5 64bit - 20200923 but it failed to complete the update. After this all my MCEBuddy Settings were lost. I can recreate them with a bit of time and effort but is there a way to recover them? Log Zipped and attached.

Mcebuddy creates a backup for the configuration files during an uninstall. You can check there.

Open the folder _%HOMEPATH%_ (this is a windows variable, just type that into your Run prompt or Windows Explorer). The following 3 files if found, _mcebuddy.conf_ , _profiles.conf_ and _history_
