The 23.2 GB I had in my old profile did update to the new profile on a new Windows 11 computer. I copied and pasted from Profile to Roaming. The copy and paste worked as described, but when I open Thunderbird it doesn't go to the update profile. I'm attaching a screen copy of my new Thunderbird app data. All the 4/24/2022 files were updated today, some marked "default" and some marked " default release. The file which has my big profile data from the old computer is: "euvmgbhx.default-release" 23.2 GB. I'm not a technical person, but have spent years restoring my Thunderbird profile data using the old procedures. Can anyone help?

If you copied the profile, it should be as simple as following these steps to getting the profile manager:
