I have 3 PCs in the house and 3 reWASD licenses. All Windows 10 home edition installs. No issues with reWASD on them. I recently did a fresh reinstall on one of the PCs and installed Windows 10 professional instead of home.
On this new W10 professional install, I imported my previous reWASD profiler saves (which were the same on all PCs) and added some new games. I then backed them all up. Then I imported them all to one of the 2 other builds. To do this, I made sure reWASD wasn't running, deleted all profiles in the following location, then copied and pasted all newly backed up from W10 professional build profiles (new and old) to the other W10 home build:
C:\Users\Public\Documents\reWASD\Profiles\
I then quickly tested every game again but on this W10 home build. To my surprise, none of the game profiles from the new games worked at all on the W10 home build. Note that the exact same games are installed on all my PCs, and the .exe files are exactly the same (most are even a 100% game install directory copy over) so the profile should have recognized the .exe being run and applied the profile automatically and worked. All my profiles have the default option of the config being applied on when the app is in focus. and of course the box is checked for "autodetect associated apps"
No matter what I tried below on the W10 home build, it didn't work:
I force applied the reWASD profile to run.
I tried running reWASD as administrator.
both versions of reWASD are running version 6.1.0 on the W10 home and W10 professional build.
I alt tabbed in and out of the games after they're running to try and get them recognized as running by reWASD.
I deleted all the reWASD profiles again under C:\Users\Public\Documents\reWASD\Profiles\ and repasted them there again, then restarted reWASD again.
I restarted the PC multiple times.
All profiles still work just fine on the W10 professional build
The previously made game reWASD profiles I didn't modify on the W10 professional build (were copied over along with new game profiles) still work just fine on the W10 home build. So only the games I modified or created on the W10 professional build don't work on the W10 home build.
At this point, the only thing I can think of is ...if I have reWASD on a W10 professional build, mess with a profile, then put in on a W10 home build, does the different W10 version cause an incompatibility?
Any thoughts or direction on where to go?
