Hyper: Config overwritten after 3.0 update

[datosh]

• [x] I am on the latest Hyper.app version
• [x] I have searched the issues of this repo and believe that this is not a duplicate

• OS version and name: Windows 10 1809
• Hyper.app version: 3.0.0 stable
• Link of a Gist with the contents of your .hyper.js: default config
• Relevant information from devtools _(CMD+ALT+I on macOS, CTRL+SHIFT+I elsewhere)_: N/A
• The issue is reproducible in vanilla Hyper.app: Vanilla

Issue

Hyper automatically updated to 3.0.0.
When I opened Hyper this morning I got the Vanilla hyper.js without any config. After checking the %APPDATA/Hyper folder I found that my config was overwritten with the default.

As far as I understand the release notes this should have been fixed by canary10
https://github.com/zeit/hyper/releases/tag/3.0.0-canary.10

Yeah not good :/ I didnt have a backup of my config. Also all my installed plugins are no longer active.

Update! If I run hyper from the command line (by just typing hyper) it has all my old config and plugins still!

Looks like the .hyper.js file was re-created in appdata/roaming/hyper/.hyper.js where as before it was installed under the user.
See #3604 and #3605

By running from the command line, you will run the old version (I assume the path variable hasnt been updated)

I'm having this issue as well, but launching hyper from the command line didn't change anything. How can I fix it?

@snassour try opening %localappdata%\hyper\ and seeing if you can launch the old version from explorer
