Fear of PREL 2019 corruption after changing the project location Windows 10

Hi everyone, my first post here.

I am running PREL 2019 on Windows 10, hardware is a Dell XPS 15. The laptop is NEVER under resource starvation since I keep monitoring CPU, RAM and everything else.

I'm in the middle of a long project that I started when I was keeping all of the base footage and the PREL directory on an external HDD. After reorganizing all my data structure, I moved everything on the internal SSD and of course initially I was prompted by many "where is this clip.mp4" bla bla. So far so good.

After everything was sorted and I resumed editing, I started noticing a few weird things on a recurring basis:

- A LOT of clips "lost" the applied effects tab content, even the default Motion & Opacity. Only dragging them back from the Assets was able to fix it, but of course I lose my trims. Not ideal.

- more random PREL crashes than before. not sure if it's related but over 6 months, I had the software crashing maybe 3 times and lately it's been at least 4 in less than a month. I don't have any logs to estabilish correlation though.

- PREL files timestamp on disk don't get updated when I save the project. It doesn't matter how many time I save, but they just stick around to an older timestamp. I verified that if I save the project with another name, it does the trick but only once, because every save I do afterwards, it doesn't get committed on the file timestamp. Basically the only way to be 100% sure that I saved everything before closing the software is to save the project with another name everytime. NOT IDEAL.

1) Is there a way I can run a "sanity" check on the PREL installation?

2) Is there a way I can run a "sanity" check on the project without losing data?

Thanks 

Rob
