How to transfer Preferences and Presets from Cubase 10 to 10.5

How can I transfer Preferences and Presets from Cubase 10 to 10.5 ?

This method from Steinberg website doesn’t work since windows cant find “%appdata%/Steinberg” folder:

“Windows

Close all programs.
Press the Windows logo key + R simultaneously to open the ‘Run’ command prompt.
(Windows XP: Select ‘Run’ from the Start menu.)
In the command line of the ‘Run’ window, enter this path: %appdata%/Steinberg
Locate the folder which is named the same as your Cubase/Nuendo version.”

%appdata% is a system variable and equates to:-

C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\AppData\Roaming

So you need to go to:-

C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Steinberg

It’s very odd that a windows system variable is failing though, try pasting %appdata%/Steinberg into the windows explorer address bar and see if that works.

Everything should copy across automatically though? I wouldn’t copy stuff without checking first that you have an issue with 10.5.

strange tho, many of the preferences like custom color selection for pre/ post fader sends didnt get transfered…

also none of the custom vst presets I saved show up.
are they saved in some different folder or file ?

figured it out, I had to click on “include folders and subfolders icon”.
little werid tho, I have to click this icon every-time for the preset browser to show my custom presets for vst instruments
