Sorry for the issue you experienced with version 2.2.258 that was released in October of 2020. Version 2.2.258 was released for two days and no users were ever asked to update via an update alert.
Of course it’s still unacceptable that any version could cause user settings to be lost and I apologize.
You can see in our change list (click the link below) that version 2.2.258 was released on October 6, then the fix was released two days later on October 8. On the change list we also link so the fix for the problem that we posted here in the forum. GlassWire Software Version Changes List
Once the problem was found we put out a fix within 2 days and we posted a solution in the forum and we also included a direct link on the change list itself.
We will work hard to improve in the future so this won’t happen again. Please check the solution above and let me know if it’s acceptable to you or not.
Also just to be clear, the history was never wiped out, but instead was moved to another directory and the can be saved.
