This at least deserved a BIG warning during one of the various blog entries about v18 release, as well as some type of documented process for those who need to upgrade. Are there any UWP users who were not completely broken by this release?

All repositories and addons are restored.Are you actually able to access any of your local data if you have any? As far as I can tell, v18 has no access to any hard drive paths.
Thanks so much!

I think UWP is different to the other app versions and they are under My Addons as they are bundled since UWP can’t use the repo for binary addons.
