Hello! I'm seeking help to restore my PG/PC settings list, which currently shows 'None' (please refer to the attached screenshot). I've attempted both reinstalling and repairing the software, but unfortunately, nothing has resolved the issue. Any guidance or assistance would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!
Uncertain about the software you're utilizing, but I've experienced similar issues multiple times with TIA Portal and Step 7. On occasions, I've had to completely uninstall and reinstall these programs. Interestingly, my MicroWin interface switched to German! Luckily, I’m familiar enough with it to navigate through. I suspect these glitches may be linked to recent Windows updates.
I gathered insights from this source, but I made some adjustments to the steps: https://support.industry.siemens.com/tf/ww/en/posts/problem-with-set-pg-pc/140028?page=0&pageSize=10. To resolve the issue, navigate to C:\ProgramData\Siemens\Automation\Simatic OAM\data\LogDevices. Rename the 'data' folder to 'data_old.' Next, launch SIMATIC Manager with administrative privileges by right-clicking the application and selecting 'Run as Administrator.' This process will help rebuild the Set PC/PC interface device database effectively.

Here’s a modified step-by-step guide: 1. Navigate to C:\ProgramData\Siemens\Automation\Simatic OAM\data\LogDevices. 2. Rename the existing 'data' folder to 'data_old'. 3. Launch SIMATIC Manager with Administrator privileges by right-clicking the application and selecting 'Run as Administrator'. This should rebuild the database for the Set PC/PC interface device. Additionally, I wanted to express my gratitude for your support! I noticed a slight variation in my experience: I had to create not only the 'data_old' folder but also a new 'data' folder for the process to function properly. I’m unsure why this step was necessary, but your guidance was immensely helpful!"

You're welcome! I experienced a similar problem myself. While you could have removed the data folder to resolve the issue, I prefer to take a more cautious approach. If everything is running smoothly now, it's safe to go ahead and delete the data_old folder.
