I just upgraded from 2.6.5 to 2.6.6 and I lost all of my settings. This is the monitored locations and tasks. Is there a way to recover these. Both were from the Premium service. I stopped the conversions, stopped the service, and ran the installer. Now it is as if it is a brand new installation wit…

The Forum_Helper_bot gave me a clue. I went to C:\Program Files\MCEBuddy2x\config and found a profile.conf.old and mcebuddy.conf.old. I stopped the process, stopped the service, and made a backup copy of the old and new. I then removed the new .conf files, removed the .old from the backups, restarte…

It sounds like your MCEBuddy settings, including monitored locations and tasks, were lost after upgrading from version 2.6.5 to 2.6.6. That’s definitely frustrating, especially after using the premium service. Let’s see if we can find a way to recover them. Usually, MCEBuddy stores its settings in …

Win 11, when opening MCEBUddy first error msg is from Norton ..checking MCEBuddy.Gui as a suspicious file, after it clears goes to the MCEbuddy title screen. will not connect to the service so I can’t see the settings files for MCEBuddy. I have tied with myprivious version and the current one.

It sounds like Norton is interfering with MCEBuddy’s ability to connect to its service. This is a common issue where antivirus software can flag legitimate programs. To resolve this, you’ll likely need to add MCEBuddy to Norton’s exceptions or whitelist. This tells Norton to trust MCEBuddy and not …

Everything back on track now. Did a complete system clean for anything related to MCEBuddy. Somewhere the appeared to be a croupt file that caused the proble. Rebooted, did a clean install of the current version. Now working. Thanks to all that provide input and comments they all helped.

Just for future reference MCEBuddy always backs up the config files in 2 places.
