Settings and tabs just "vanished"

Yesterday, everything was working just fine. I had not changed anything on/in Objectdock in weeks (no new objects, etc). Today, booted up PC and the tabbed dock I had put together over time was gone, replaced with the original dock. In the ObjectDockPlus folder, I find "AppImages.ini" and "CurrentTheme_v2_Legacy_Backup.ini" are still present but everything el has today's date.

I suspect I'm hosed and have to rebuild all my objects/icons but on the off chance there's a "fix" I'm not aware of: HELP?!?! Is there a way to revive my old settings without having to "do it all over again?"

OS: Windows 11 Home, ver 24H2, OS build: 26100.6584, Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.26100.234.0

ObjectDock: 3.01

Moved to ObjectDock area

Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. Perhaps, something has happen and corrupted your OD setting. Assuming you never backup your setting before. You will need to rebuild/resetup your docks. After that is done, please backup your setting. You can do that by, going to OD configuration windows-> Click on "Settings" tab->Click on "Troupbleshooting Options"->Click on "Open my ObjectDock settings folder so I can backup my settings" button. Please backup all files in this folder. Use these files if the same issue reappear in the future. You just need to close OD. Copy over these files into the C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Stardock\ObjectDockPlus.

Thank you,

I was afraid that may be the case. (groan) I assume I need to back up more than "AppImages.ini" and "CurrentTheme_v2_Legacy_Backup.ini", correct? I had those backed up.

Any idea what may have corrupted the settings? I'll, of course, do a backup but I want to avoid the problem again, if possible. Yesterday, before this happened, the only apps I used were Word, PowerPoint, and Chrome.

I am sorry, not sure what might be causing it. It can basically be anything from failing hardware or software related thing.
