After updating to C14.0.1.0, the list of recently used pieces in the hub is empty and my keyboard shortcuts no longer work… 🤔  
How do I get them back?  
Thanks a lot,  
Hartmut

Nach dem Update auf C14.0.1.0 ist im Hub die Liste mit den zuletzt benutzten Stücken leer und meine Tastatur-Shortcuts funktionieren nicht mehr… 🤔  
Wie bekomme ich sie wieder?  
Vielen Dank,  
Hartmut

Correction: it doesn’t seem to have been the installation of the update, but the **un** installation of C 13… I’m afraid the settings have disappeared then, haven’t they? I could look for them in a TimeMachine backup: in which directory would they be found?  
Thank you very much,  
Hartmut

Korrektur: es scheint nicht die Installation des Updates gewesen zu sein, sondern die **De** installation von C 13… Ich befürchte, dann sind die Einstellungen verschwunden, oder? Ich könnte in einem TimeMachine Backup danach suchen: in welchem Verzeichnis wären sie zu finden?  
Vielen Dank,  
Hartmut

Here’s how you can restore them:

### **Recent Projects List**

The recent projects list is stored in **preferences files**. After uninstalling, these may have been deleted or reset. You can check for backups or try to restore them manually.

- **Possible File Location for Recent Projects (Windows)**

- **Possible File Location for Recent Projects (Mac)**

* * *

### **Keyboard Shortcuts**

Your custom keyboard shortcuts are saved in a `.xml` file within Cubase’s preferences folder. You may be able to restore them from a backup.

- **Windows:**

- **Mac:**

If this file was removed during uninstallation, check if you have a backup or look in a **previous Cubase version’s preferences folder** (e.g., `Cubase 12_64`) for a copy.

* * *

After restoring the files, restart Cubase to see if your shortcuts and recent projects return.
