I hate XML files. Editing it is a pain.
I know it allows to add more information in one tag... but INI files are so simple (I guess to simply) and fast...

If you edit the file correctly it should have restore the settings. might be that you missed some tags some places.. format is xml so it require correct structure to be read correctly.

But new version out.
It will try to recover corrupted MultiCommander.xml file when loading it.

The Error was that setting page was wrong so it could not be opened. and that resulted in it saving a multicommander.xml with a error value in it. and when reloading then new top level xml nodes started to be added to the file making it so it failed to load config.

From build 3154, it will remove all extra xml top level tags that should not be there and try to restore the config file.
Settings page  now works again.

Thanks for letting me know ! but I fixed it via a 13 day old backup config & the last Beta Zip download from MC homepage —so I'am continuing from my last backup although I did update to V16 when I heard you mention it's fixed. P.S: I tested just now & confirmed it's properly migrating to the latest Beta (/w the corrupted version (zip) I saved for posterity) !

This is a true BETA, lots of changes. if any of the new thing does not work or if you find new issues.. please report it.
If no body report issue they see, then it can't be fixed.

It's working well, thanks ! Haven't found any issues so far !

that file is your settings so it depends on you settings.. YOu just delete it. and it will be created with default settings

file should look like

<?xml version="1.0"?>
          <config global="0" Build="3151">
            <AskLanguage value="0"/>
            <appinfo>
at the beginning  only 1 "<config"  tag

and one </config> close tag

    <experimental>
      <darkmode value="0"/>
    </experimental>
</config>


then just search for "</config>" and make sure there is no one except at the end of the file



Hm if you run portable version it may say
 <config global="1" Build="3151">
at the top

Thanks I'll try !
P.S: Maybe it's not MC's fault, I installed NeoJ2ME emulator to play Mobile games, & it dropped a ton of folders in my MC folder ! Maybe that's why it isn't functioning properly ! Anyway I'll try to fix it manually your way first.
P.P.S: I reverted to the old Zip version download (Feb 2) while preserving my Config backup taken 13 days ago, I'm back in my MC !! Kept off the updates for now.
By the way, when I removed those 2 config tags (first & last) it reset my Config to default, so maybe that wasn't it afterall ! But yeah let me know if MC is still geared towards Win 10.

too fix it manually  you need to edit the config.  both Multicommander.xml and Multicommander_def.xml got corrupted..

Included is a correct MultiCommander_def.xml
the MultiCommander.xml (your settings.. got extract </config> tags..extra <config at the beging should be remove.. and all </config> except last one should be removed.

Alright thanks, I'm on it ! O.K. wait that last bit is tricky. Can you Direct Message me /w the fixed file please ?
P.S: I reverted to the old version /w my Config backup from 13 days ago. It's working but I get the error "14 ExtensionModules was invalid and could not be loaded. This can happen after a failed upgrade or external modules that needs to be updated separately." Nevermind I fixed that by replacing the Extensions folder. I'am using a backup from 13 days ago plus the Feb 2 MC Beta. I still have my recent broken version backed up if you can provide me /w the MultiCommander.XML fixed file please…
