DIM forgot my settings after update & no longer shows choice of libraries

Updated DIM recently just started it for the first time after update. It forgot all my settings INCLUDING my libraries & so I had to add them back & it no longer shoes the dropdown that allows you to chose the install library when you install. I use multiple libriaries & would have to go into advanced settings to change the install location If I continue using DIM. How do I get that dropdown back, or did someone decide to remove it in the update for reasons unknown to god or man?

    Maybe a stupid question, but did you log in to DIM with your Daz account?

    Yes as I said had forgotten all settings, including the account details so I had to log back in

    That sounds as if something happened to the account.ini file 9or username.ini file if not using the default account) - security software or some system tool moved it, removed it, or corrupted it.  That lives in

    %appdata%/daz 3d/installmanager/useraccounts/

    for Windows

    They are there but appear to have been created when logged back in last time. Dont have OneDrive linked to My Documents, learned that lesson long ago. And my AV while a bit hyperactive doesnt go after ini's. Better keep an eye out and see if they disappear again 

    And If anyone else lost track of that Content Path Shortcuts dropdown like me, heres where to find it, you need to select Show Details if its unselected

    That does sound as if something is blocking access to the files. Try removing the whole useraccounts folder (move it elsewhere, rather than delete) and starting DIM.
