Resetting to Default Settings
Follow these steps to restore LightBurn to the same settings as when you first installed — be aware that you will also lose any device profiles you've created in this process.
Warning
While this process can be helpful in cases where you have a great many incorrect settings and want to start over, we recommend trying Load Prefs Backup or Reset to Default Layout before a full reset.
- Open LightBurn.
- Go to File → Open Prefs Folder.
- Close LightBurn.
- Delete the contents of the prefs folder, which should contain a pair of files called
prefs.ini
andprefs.old
. - Re-open LightBurn. All settings should be reset to default, and all devices will be removed.
That’s it. When you re-run you’ll be asked to set up your laser again, and everything will be as new.
