December 20, 20223 yr The MSFS Mandatory Update 1.29.30.0 which was distributed yesterday has deleted all my aircraft joystick profiles which I set up in the Options/Controls Options and has also altered many of the settings. Fortunately I regularly back up MSFS which is installed on a separate drive, and I thought that it would be a simple matter to locate and re-install the profiles. I have searched the backup drive but cannot find them, does anyone know where MSFS stores profiles?
December 20, 20223 yr Hi there, Not sure if it helps because all this is saved in the cloud - but worth a try: C:\Users\YOUR NAME\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe\SystemAppData the Wgs folder contains your profiles. I only have blank profiles, main settings are in my Spad.Next. I would very much recommend a standalone app for profiles. You'll never lose anything.

December 20, 20223 yr Dunno what's been going on, but my sim was all over the place. Asked me if I wanted to start in safe mode, told me I had no data left (????????????) settings in control panel had been changed and I had lost the PMDG 737 in the aircraft selection screen! Luckily I did a backup two weeks ago, so I'm in the middle of reinstalling the whole sim as I type. Not good Asobo.

December 21, 20223 yr When I started today, a question came up on the screen on whether I wanted to keep the cloud profile or the last profile (or something like that). I don’t remember which one I chose, but there were no changes that I could see except that I also lost the PMDG 737 as an aircraft choice. I guess I was lucky 🤔 I9-13900K, RTX 4090, Reverb G2, Simrig Motion platform
December 21, 20223 yr Author Thank you so much Mick, your advice has worked and it has saved me many hours of restorative work. The restore operation from backup was an adventure and it did not work at first. I re-read your contribution and in particular the information that the profiles are stored in the cloud. I did another restore operation with the internet disconnected and voila all my profiles were there again! I don't know why Microsoft/Asobo puts some of us through all these loops, this is not the first time that I have had issues following an update. Thank you again. Brian
December 21, 20223 yr Glad I could help and you have your profiles back! PC: Gigabyte X670 Aorus Elite, AMD Ryzen 9 9900X3D, Gigabyte GeForce RTX 4080 Super Aorus Master, DDR5 G.Skill Trident Z5 Neo 2X32 GB, Corsair HX 1000, Fractal Torrent, Samsung LC32 / G7 1440P.
