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 a specific location. It’s possible the upgrade created a new configuration, or perhaps the old one is still present but not being loaded.
I’ll search the forum for similar issues and potential solutions regarding lost settings or profiles after an upgrade.
I’m sorry to hear you’ve lost your settings after the upgrade. It sounds like a frustrating experience.
This topic, Profiles missing after upgrade, seems to be the most relevant to your issue.
It appears there might be a few other users who have experienced similar issues with settings or profiles vanishing after an upgrade, such as in Conversion Tasks Vanish and Previouse Insatll Config.
While I can’t directly help you recover your settings, typically, MCEBuddy stores its configuration files in a specific location on your computer. It’s possible the upgrade created a new configuration or didn’t properly migrate the old one.
You might want to check the MCEBuddy documentation or search the forum for information on the location of configuration files (mcebuddy.conf
or similar) to see if you can locate a backup or previous version. Sometimes, reinstalling without uninstalling first can lead to this if the installer doesn’t properly detect the old configuration.
Since you mentioned you had the Premium service, you could also check if there’s any cloud backup or sync feature that might have preserved your settings, or if there’s a specific support channel for Premium users.
