If you go to the exe version, in addition to copying userdata, you also have to copy addons. Then within Kodi, go to settings/addons/my addons/all and look for addons with an X next to them. These need to be updated. After they're updated, they will appear in your add-ons.

Much the same with my Kodi update. No local drives etc
Now attempting to copy over from localcache to localstate and recover.
If that doesn't work, I'll copy the appropriate folders and files from my latest backup.
Will be going to bed soon, to await the howls of anguish telephone calls in the morning, from the Kodi users I support.
Not a happy bunny.

Deep gloom. Everything restored but when attempting to access Movies or TV Shows, Remote Share path not found or invalid caption pops up.
Folders and Files are on a seperate local drive.

Wow this is pretty messed up.
I'm trying to do fix #2, keeping the UWP v18. I have copied and pasted all the data as instructed. But in Kodi all of my libraries are still empty.
FYI my media is on an attached USB 3.1 drive. I can play media from the Files folder, but none of the Media Sources that I had created can access my media, I see an error "Path Not Found or Invalid".
I see there are 2 options to fix this, using the exe or the UWP version. Which option should make it easiest to get back up and running. I'm very confused now.
Kodi 18.0 on Windows 10 Home, version 1803. Intel NUC7 i5 BNKP, 16GB RAM.

I'm running into lots of errors when trying to copy the Kodi sub-directory out of the LocalCache/Roaming directory. This occurs both with the GUI and also using robocopy ("The file cannot be accessed by the system"). I've tried using robocopy both as myself and as an Administrator (which is to say: I invoked the Command Prompt as Administrator; I'm assuming that carries over to any commands I run, too). Seems like some sort of permissions issue? On Linux I'd know how to solve this, but I don't use Windows for anything other than gaming and Kodi so I don't have a clue.
Anyone else running into this or have suggestions? Looks like all the data I need is still there, I just can't access it which prevents me from being successful with either of the proposed solutions...

Have you exited Kodi before trying to move system files?
