JabRef used to work fine, but suddenly it stopped opening on my Windows 10 computer. It is visible in my task manager, but for the rest it does not open. I am not entirely sure what I did last time before it stopped opening that might have caused the problem: upgraded to 3.8.2, updated Java, or both…

I reset all settings by running the following line in the command window: java -jar JabRef-3.8.2.jar --prdef all -n Now it opens. I do wonder, though, what caused the problem in the first place.

Now my problem is that I have no idea how to change the settings (or delete them, to start over again) without opening JabRef. Is there a settings file I should open in a text editor?
