Lost all preference files after Nuendo 14 update

Lost all preference files after Nuendo 14 update

I recently ran into trouble after updating to Nuendo 14. I was trying to compare my existing preferences with the default ones when I noticed my configuration file had become several dozen times larger than the default one, causing startup lag.

When attempting to fix this, I mistakenly deleted my configuration files, and now I’ve lost everything.

I really wish Steinberg would improve preference compatibility between major versions. This isn’t the first time I’ve had to completely reset to defaults and reconfigure all my custom settings after a major update.
