Layout .json files are disappearing

I put mods in the community folder and after a few days they disappear. can anyone help and tell my why that is happening?

Ref: Topic "Layout .json files – Disappearing

What exactly is disappearing ?

The MOD in the community folder, or just it’s layout.json file

The 1st thing that comes to my mind is some layout.json toll, being run (somehow) and corrupting/deleting some layout.json files.

What exactly is disappearing, and under what circumstances.

Is it only one particular Mod ?

An Interesting “Bug” report – you have my interest

One assume ths is on a PC (as opposed to an X-box)

ti is just layout .json files thte other files are there it seems to be files I am installing from flight sim.to, orbx central, etc, so anywhere besides the market place

Do you perhaps have an AV product detecting them is suspicious, and removing or quarantining them? It would be an odd file to pick as they are just text.

I really dont know, all I really do and install on the computer is flight sim mods and it is used only for msfs

Did you by any chance get this figured out?
