Switching profiles

I am trying to load a different profile from the settings screen . It comes up with a error "this software was started with a /s CD20A7 command line argument , but a device with that serial number wasnt found , the application will now close."

I have gone in and looked and that is the serial number shown in the help screen.

How do I go and load one of the profiles from my other machines into this one ?

Create a copy of your default UCCNC desktop shortcut. Right click on it, and under target, where is should say something like C:\UCCNC\UCCNC.exe, add " /p yourprofilename" Make sure there's a space betweeen exe and /p.
It should look like this:

C:\UCCNC\UCCNC.exe /p yourprofilename

This is probably because your motion controller did not disconnect and got ready for the communication fast enough when the UCCNC disconnected it and then it checked if it is available.
However we could not reproduce this problem, but have heard about the issue from at least one more user so far.
To resolve the issue we put a delay into the restart process to avoid this problem, but that version was not released yet.

Happens everytime to all my controllers on multiple computers , I know about the copy shortcut but thats not solving the issue , happens when we do a screenset change too. I just set 3 new controllers up today for bench testing on a high spec pc and they all did it , same as they do on my low spec PC in the workshop. Older versions of the software do not suffer from this issue.

Because older software versions did not restart the software which was a problem, because the screenset was not reloaded if a different screenset was in the profile then that did not load in.
So, that was changed with we added a software restart to the changeprofile function and then the issue arrised that you and another user reported that the device could not connect which we could not reproduce on any of our computers, but we added a delay to make sure that nobody will have this problem...
