IntelliJ lost all my IDE settings over night
已回答
IntelliJ Ultimate lost all IDE-wide settings, such as the list of previously opened projects, code style, etc. and some project specific settings, such as git credentials and which tabs are opened and pinned. Presumably it didn't lose settings saved in the .idea folder, because it still has the optimise imports setting on… As a tech leader, I help maintain over 150 repositories and I actively open all of them eventually over the course of my work. It's painful to see these settings gone.
I'm not completely certain, but I think there was an IDE update yesterday. The IDE had a crash today that was reported through the reporting dialogue. I hope my report will help fix this issue for other people.

If yes, please backup these folders first, then you can downgrade your IntelliJ IDEA to 2024.2 and see if these records persist or not.
These folders are present. Is it possible in any way to tell IntelliJ 2024.3 to import the settings from 2024.2 without downgrading?
If you delete 2024.3 settings directory, IDE will import the settings from the previous version automatically on start.
You can also copy the Configuration directory: https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/directories-used-by-the-ide-to-store-settings-caches-plugins-and-logs.html#config-directory from one version to another manually.
That worked!
Thanks
Yes, this happened to me too
No it doesn't suggest me to copy settings from elder version if I am deleting newer settings directory. It suggests to import from WebStorm, DataGrip, PyCharm and Visual Studio Code, but doesn't sugges elder version of Idea,
The settings are imported automatically if you start the IDE with the empty config directory.
`2025.1` also caused the problem. Deleting `IntelliJIdea2025.1` folder in both mentioned places fixed the issue once again.
