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…

v16 is very BETA so please keep issue that are unique for v16 in Beta forum..

Ok hmm I will look into that. worked before, Might be some corrupted settings def file.

I reported a second bug, I'm locked out of my MC, it won't open, asking me to reset the config file, which I won't do. Please can you fix it ?
P.S: I have a backup from 13 days ago. But I would like to re-download a Beta & get it to work /w my existing installation…

After MC V16 update when I opened Core Settings, everything is hidden quickly after a refresh, I can't view anything in here anymore. It was working before I think. Explorer Panel Settings is unaffected (I can see the controls properly.) I'm using MC Portable Beta on Windows 10 Enterprise if it helps. Is it only me having this issue ?!
P.S: No ! Now when I clicked "Show Hidden/ System Files Folders" icon (it was hidiing before) all my Tab files & folders disappeared !! & it's not toggling anymore. Now my MC Config File has become corrupt after re-opening 'cause I wanted to relaunch & see if the folder contents was appearing again after a relaunh. Also, it showed me the "Layout Look And Feel" Dialog before saying the Config is corrupted. Is there a solution ?

Beta Releases / v16.0 Beta
« Last post by Mathias (Author) on Today at 15:13:47 »
V16.0 - Lots of changes

There was some error with this release. the build system messed it up.  So I have pulled it.  a new version will be available soon

Biggest change is an internal rewrite of the fileoperation engine (The thing that handles copy,move,delete,unpack,pack)
In Core settings under Filesystem > Tweaks. you can disable it if you got any issue.

The new rewrite will allow for new features for the copy engine. some of them already here.
Like Block cloning if you copy to/from same device that is using ReFS. (Copy files of any size in a second)

 

--------  v16.0 BETA ( Build 3151 ) - 2026-04-24

  FIXED -  MultiFieViewer - Fixed issue with grep tool and copy selected text to clipboard. Will now not include hidden lines
  FIXED -  MultiFieViewer - Better auto detection of UTF-8 Files
  ADDED  - MultiRename/InlineRename can now rename into a subpath. eg: MyFile.txt => SubFolder\MyFile.txt
  FIXED  - MultiRename - Fixed [N,-2] From 2nd-from-last char to end (was broken, returned empty)
  FIXED  - MultiRename - Fixed [N,5-] From char 5 to end using trailing-dash syntax (was misread as first 5 chars)
  ADDED  - MultiRename - New date/time tags using the file's write (W) or create (C) timestamp instead of today's date/time.
           [YW] / [YW2]  - Write year (4-digit / 2-digit)
           [YC] / [YC2]  - Create year (4-digit / 2-digit)
           [MW2] / [MC2] - Write/create month (zero-padded)
           [DW2] / [DC2] - Write/create day (zero-padded)
           [hW2] / [hC2] - Write/create hour
           [mW2] / [mC2] - Write/create minute
           [sW2] / [sC2] - Write/create second
  ADDED  - MultiRename - New multi-level parent folder name tags.
           [FL1]   - Immediate parent folder name (same as [F])
           [FL2]   - Grandparent folder
           [FL3]   - Great-grandparent folder
           [FL2,2] - Grandparent folder name, starting at char 2
           [FL22-] - Level 2, from char 2 to end
           [FL23]  - Level 2, first 3 chars
  ADDED  - MultiRename - New weekday tags.
           [WD]   - Abbreviated weekday in English (Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri, Sat, Sun)
           [WDN]  - Full weekday name in English (Monday, Tuesday, ... Sunday)
           [WDL]  - Abbreviated weekday in the OS/user locale language
           [WDNL] - Full weekday name in the OS/user locale language
  ADDED  - MultiRename - New random number tag.
           [R]  - 6-digit random number (default)
           [R4] - 4-digit random number (any digit count)
  CHANGE - MultiRename - Code cleanup and minor fixes
  ADDED  - MultiScript supports the ternary operator (e.g. $a = $b ? $c : $d)
  ADDED  - MultiScript supports a "foreach" loop for iterating through arrays and collections. (e.g. foreach $item in $array { ... })
  ADDED  - MultiScript supports new functions: Pow, abs, clamp, IsNumeric, StrStartsWith, StrEndsWith, StrContains, StrFormat, StrPadLeft, StrPadRight, StrCount, StrRepeat, ArrayReverse, ArraySlice
  ADDED  - MultiScript supports boolean operators AND / OR / NOT.
  ADDED  - MultiScript now handles operator priorities correctly, so parentheses are not required for expressions like 2*3+2 to evaluate correctly. (Parentheses can still be used if desired)
  ADDED  - FolderTree now has a setting to show links (Symlinks/Junctions) either as links or resolved to the target they point to. (Default is to show them as links)
  ADDED  - Search field at the top of the Settings pages, allowing you to quickly find the setting you are looking for.
  FIXED  - Fixed issue with overwriting files whose name starts with a dot (e.g. ".file") when copying over a network to a Linux machine.
  ADDED  - Experimental read/write strategies for local file copy operations (opt-in in Core Settings).
           Uses Windows Overlapped IO or IOCP, letting the Windows kernel handle read/write operations and threading.
           Because the transfers are managed by Windows, separate Read/Write speed stats cannot be shown in the file operation progress window.
  ADDED  - Added support for copying file permissions (ACL) on NTFS/ReFS file systems.
  ADDED  - File copy on the same ReFS volume can now use the "Block Clone" method, making it possible to duplicate files of any size without using extra disk space.
  ADDED  - New file operation code path for Copy/Move/Delete/Unpack/Pack operations. Major restructuring of the code for better stability and future features.
           This is a significant change and may cause some issues, but it should be more stable, faster, and allow for better automated testing and future improvements.
           (It is possible to switch back to the old code path in Core Settings if issues arise, but this is not recommended as the old code path will be removed in a future version)
  CHANGE - Lots of code cleanup and restructuring for better stability and future features.
  FIXED  - 30+ stability issues
