Cannot load mount configuration file (M Uno, StarGo 656 B2 = 656 18, fw 656,) was created by Peter_S
Hello,
before updating I renamed the previous Stargo folder to Stargo_old
after updating to StarGo 656 B2 incl. fw update I copied the mount configuration file from
...programs(x86)\Avalon\Stargo_Old
to
...progrm data\Avalon\MCF
when trying to load a MCF (saved before the update) the MCfile is displayed (after a StarGo restart) but the settings remain unchanged.
How can I install my "old" mount configurtion file?
thanks
Peter

Hello
Due to the latest Win10 update about the privacy policy management setting, we had to modify the mount configuration file location path and several fields included in those files.
That’s why, even by copy/pasting your previous mount configuration file in the new path, the StarGo software may not recognize the settings changing.
In order to properly re-configure your mount configuration file you can select the standard file corresponding to your mount, then modify your preferred settings and save it again.
Otherwise, you can send us you old mount configuration file and we’ll see how to modify it in order to make it conform to the latest StarGo Software/Firmware version.
Best regards

Replied by Peter_S on topic Cannot load mount configuration file, instability etc.: Windows user profiles!
Re-Hello,
- when installing StarGo "regularily" = without Administrator privs. (but as a Windows user with admin privs) the MCF folder wasnt created, I had several instances of the StarGo ASCOM window opened, the windows couldnt be minimized etc.
- when installing StarGo with Admin privs. (same user profile) the MCF folder was created but other issues remained, instability...
After several times un-/reinstalling with different options and re-booting I finally found the solution of my problem:
I had to sign out of my Windows user profile and install or activate the "native" Administrator profile. On some PCs it´s already installed.
After uninstalling the different apps I re-installed ASCOM, StarGo and APT etc. logged in on this Administrator profile (but without checking the option "run as administrator" - I dont know if it makes a difference in this case....)
Since then no issue. I hope this can help others to save time...
