Try the ComfyUI directory listed there - if that doesn’t work, please let us know.

A fix for this issue is coming in the next release.

Still working on the next release, but if you’d like to keep troubleshooting, there are some steps below. The next release should resolve this issue.

Try removing both `extra_models_config.yaml` and `config.json` from `%APPDATA%\ComfyUI`. When you next start the app, it will be in installer mode. Select a new, completely different path to install to, and run through the install / download process again.

If you run into issues and are migrating custom nodes/extensions, try without.

Yep, you can just open file explorer in Windows, and type `%APPDATA%` into the address bar.
