Please confirm the settings.
Do you check [File]-[Settings...]-[Other]-[Open a last file on startup] ?

Hi, Thank you for your reply. Yes I did check [File]-[Settings...]-[Other]-[Open a last file on startup] and it is ticked. Just to be sure I re-started the program and still there are no flows. I am running the latest version of Windows 10 Pro.

just tried again this time with a new flow and just two nodes. I close Node-RED Desktop, re-open it no flows! It seems fairly elementary that it should save flows to me. Have you any further suggestions please.
I also ticked use projects and there is nothing in there other than a SSH file.

Please check a log from [File]-[Open log file].
You will find a line of "Flows file" like the following

[2020-10-25 05:45:03.062] [info] Flows file     : C:\Users\XXXX\.Node-RED-Desktop\Node-RED-Desktop--6896-vckTCzgXZ09u-.tmp

Let me see the outputs

Hi, I needed to get Node-RED working so I uninstalled Node-RED desktop and installed Node-RED in the conventional way as per the node-RED documents and it now works perfectly. However, I really liked your desktop version so I’ll install it on another PC and try it again. If that fails I’ll send you the log you requested. If it works OK on my second PC I’ll also try it again on my main PC as it seems the two instances use a different folder structures.
