Just an observation, from the depths of history... IIRC, 2.3.x I think was a development series; unstable and for bug testing and so on, and for "expert" users only (ie not me) it feels to me that having that running on win11 is unlikely, I'm not even sure that 2.3 release were for windows - i

I don't profess to have any great ideas, but I see from the one screenshot that your file opens, but appears to be empty, and I see from the other that you have numerous large log files (9mb or so) on every day of the display. Many of them appear to be only a few days old. Personally, my log f

By 'backup' we don't mean something you do within GnuCash, we mean something you do with your entire computer/personal files. If you never make backups of any of your files, or only rarely, then I guess you're stuck rebuilding data if you can't recover this file. (this would be the case with A
