Thanks for the feedback and useful shortcuts.
Yes, the globals did reset, which took a few minutes to reconfigure. No problems there.
Helix does "rebuild" presets upon each startup now. This adds maybe 30 seconds to the boot process (not a huge deal). Based on what you are saying, this is the new normal upon each restart, or was it supposed to happen only the first time?
Also, curious about 10&11, "Upgrades existing presets to latest format". Is this different than the "rebuild" process during startup? If so, wondering if executing this command result in future boot processes not needing to "rebuild" presets. Please advise.
Much obliged.
