Do I really have to go through the process of setting up my drive again for secure ripping? Verifying all that stuff and using test discs and all that? I have updated many times in the past without having to do all this. Actually it saved my naming profiles but changed my save location, audio file type, and some other stuff but the really upsetting thing is having to redo all of my settings in CD ripper!

UPDATE: Thankfully the update retained the drive offset and C2 pointers settings so I do not have to do all that again. But many of the secure rip settings were lost, as well as the default folder path, cover art settings, and audio file type preferences. This never happened before with previous updates to new versions, so something apparently was amiss in the latest version in not carrying over all previous settings and preferences. Fortunately I made screenshots of all the settings from the last time so I just have to look at those and make sure the settings in the new version match the old one.
Did anyone else lose CD ripper settings when updating to release 2026-05-25 from the previous version? Is there somewhere I need to specify to retain all current settings before installing an update? -
We use the same settings for older versions, that means you could run R17.5 from 10 years back, install R2026 and the settings would be preserved.
However we noticed sometimes Windows will clear the registry where settings are stored, certain OS updates do this.Comment

Is there a way to copy the registry files before doing an update so that if I notice my settings have changed I can recover them if they get wiped. I mean, without doing a whole system restore? I've never seen this happen in my eight years of using this program on my old Windows 10 PC and my new Windows 11 PC. It wasn't catastrophic that I had to spend thirty minutes revising all my lost settings but I would like to avoid this happening again if possible. What folder would these registry files be found in, and would I be able to recover lost settings this way?Comment

I recently updated to 2026-05-25 on two different Windows 11 machines and all settings carried over. So I didnt see this issue.Comment
