Update 7.3.1 not showing

[ventanas1]

Still on 7.3, checked for updates daily and this one does not show. Have logged out and in many times, checked hosts file for any issues etc. Nothing blocked in firewall.

It seems I may have to uninstall and reinstall Lightroom to fix this, but I wonder what will happen to the list of links in the Edit In menu, PlugIn extras and Export with Preset. I don't want to have to reinstall all those. If I backed up the AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Lightroom folder and replaced after the reinstall would this work.

Grateful for any advice.

Nothing will happen if you uninstall/reinstall. You don't have to move anything. Uninstall does not delete these files.

Just a word to the wise ... your catalog file, photos and presets should ALWAYS be backed up anyway. They need to be copied to a different physical disk. Better yet, you should use some backup software that will make these backups on a regular and automated basis. Ideally, if you are already making regular backups, there's no need to make another backup when you uninstall.

Thanks, yep all presets, plugin etc are backed up, just didn't know if I would need any of them with a reinstall.

Thanks for the advice
