Anything else?

The monitor was turned off when I shut down the computer. So I did not see what the monitor would have displayed. When I started the computer this evening, Windows Updates were installed (if that is relevant)

The log contains the following line:

18:16:43.772 [main] WARN o.c.common.settings.SettingsProvider - Invalid json file C:\Users\tobias\AppData\Roaming\Cryptomator\settings.json

The Cryptomator settings file contained an error and thus was resetted.

@tobiaskarch When you you write 1.Maintain some settings, does it mean you are editing the json file directly?

@tobiaskarch When you you write 1.Maintain some settings, does it mean you are editing the json file directly?

@infeo No, I only use the Cryptomator UI to configure settings

Edit: Technically, step 2 "Maintain some settings" is not necessary at all. Additional info: The last time I changed a setting was a very long time ago. So there was no recent setting change

My SyncTrayzor config file was also corrupted. This issue mentions that it is related to Windows Updates: canton7/SyncTrayzor#471
With the force shutdown I may have interrupted the update process

Since this is not reproducable, i'll close the ticket. It can be reopened if the issue appears again.
