I decided to do a restart using the power button on my PC. That got the PC to boot, but surprise, every config file for every program, appeared to be gone! Even LOG4OM could not find my station config file. Out of desperation I did a “restart” (not shut down) and the visual appearance started looking like my old install. Did another “restart” and magically all the programs were back to normal operation.
Just make sure you have everything backed up! Hope this will avoid any premature cardiac incidents for you
