From one end of the spectrum to the other...
So I just remove the backend of the file name (those numbers and the Backup extension), and my July settings should work again?
Wow. Hm. Ok.Often, yes. Different port, different device as far as Windows is concerned.
So Elite: Dangerous renames the files making them useless if the game can't find said controller in said port. Ok.The other files aren't corrupted, they just referred to controls that the game couldn't find, so the game renamed them rather than deleting them.
If it was simply a case of failing to plug in the controller or having it on the wrong port, you can delete the new Custom.binds and remove the extension on the file that was renamed to restore your binds.

You're right of course. What would you consider the correct description for this error/solution?This isn't coding/programming, but yes I'm sure it's annoying for casual Windows users.
