Settings changed and reverted to trial version

Post by bortseb »

Randomly today when I restarted my computer, all my xyplorer settings were changed and I was not running a 30-day trial version. I do have a license, any idea how all my settings were lost, or what happened? Ideas on how to restore things?

You should find your previous settings in the auto-backup folder: <xydata>\AutoBackup

Hmmm, that didn't seem to do it... I also forget how to remind xyplorer that I have a license, and im not on a 30 day trial.

1) Unless you actively turned it off the auto-backup folder should contain your settings.

2) How to unlock: https://www.xyplorer.com/faq-topic.php?id=unlock

I unlocked, but there were no auto-backups to help me restore... how do I turn that on for next time?

It's on by default: Configuration | General | Startup & Exit | Save Settings | Backup settings on save
