Windows 10 reboot causes me to lose all the newsgroups I am subscribed to.

No other symptoms, TBird works fine all the rest of the time, it is just the Windows 10 restart that causes subscribed newsgroups to be forgotten so I have to reselect them and download articles again.

I have been using TB for years on a Win7 machine and never seen this problem. I only use TB for newsgroups, not for email or anything else and I think it's great.

No, this was an unscheduled Win 10 power down because my adorable grandson had turned off the power without my noticing :/

I have just done a normal restart after stopping TB without any problems.
