After installing 2015.8, I can no longer access Auto Import Settings from the File menu.  Is this a new bug?

Me too! What's most galling: I got the watched folder working perfectly this morning, saw the 6.8 upgrade offered at lunchtime, upgraded, and the whole thing is stuffed this afternoon! I am going to try a return to a recent restore point before de-installing/re-installing altogether but c'mon Adobe! Where's the patch?!

If they have a fix we need them to release it. This is really frustrating.

Naveen, Oscar, I couldn't agree more. I am out there on locations slogging it out literally every week day and this bug is a major impediment to my work flow. Come on Adobe. Get your app together so we can maintain our productivity.

Can't remember if I answered this before; apologies if I did.  Yes, I tried it. didn't work. Monumental pain in the a-- to re configure everything.  I also tried creating a new catalogue and importing the old catalogue into it.  Problem solved, for 1 minute.  
as soon as I made changes and closed the window then re-openend it to make further changes the same problem cropped up. Locked up again. Cannot make changes.

My guess is they have a fix but they are just waiting to issue an update to fix this and many other current issues at the same time.

I agree... very frustrating. It can't be that hard to fix.

I have the same problem, last version of Lightroom on Windows10. And it is auto-importing renaming files with wrong suffixs... 😞

I'm on Mac 10.11.6 running LR 2015.8 release. Same thing happens. I shoot tethered almost every day and cannot access the Import Settings. Each new capture gets picked up from the watch folder and deposited into the job folder from January 18, the last day Import Settings worked for me. It comes in with the keywords, file naming and metadata preset from that Jan 18 job. At the end of the job I rewrite the keywords, rename the files and drag them into a new, manually named job folder. It's a real pain and I hope it gets resolved soon. I'm happy to learn from this thread that it seems to be getting some attention. Thank you Victoria.

Is there any indication as to when this might be fixed? It's driving me crazy. Has any one had any experience with the On1 software? I'm looking  for alternatives as this is becoming  unworkable for me. 😞
