Title: Losing settings on multiple apps
Post by: duncanpt on November 18, 2025, 10:15:11 AM
I've just started using Home Updater (used PMP for years). The updates appear to have changed not just the software but associated settings (what would have been in the config files way back when and are now presumably hidden in the Registry).

After the first update run I noticed that:
- the file association for .au3 had changed (to run AutoIt; I had it associated with an editor)
- Chrome lost details of the open tabs (I had to recreate from history, and not even all in one block)
- Firefox lost details of the open tabs (fortunately it had a "restore recent window" option which I found)
- Zoom Workplace won't update (I don't care much about that actually)
- MS Powertoys won't update (I'll wait)

This was not a problem under older PMP. Can you fix it pronto? Because this is a killer for me: I want the apps software updated; I do not want to lose my set up.

I'm waiting to see what else I find.
On the other hand, the new interface is much better looking.
