Problem with LR6 development menu histories: I lost all the history of my processing in the development module. I'd like to know the cause to avoid it from happening again.

Are ALL the images affected? When you say that all the history has been lost, can you tell me if the history panel is completely blank, of if there's just the one "Import" step showing?
There is a "Clear History" option on the Develop menu, that would result in a completely blank history panel. It only affects the selected images, so to erase the history of all images they must all have been selected when using that option.
If there's still an "Import" step showing, that would mean that the images have been re-imported. Is that a possibility?

In which case I can't explain why the history has disappeared, but have you considered trying to revert to a catalog backup to try to restore the history?

Thank you for your response.
I have not kept any old backups
I have yet another problem, LR6 can no longer finish writing metadata changes in XMP.
