Hi @iamqiz, is it possible that you could help me recover my scripts?

I had an issue with Windows that forced me to reinstall Chrome, and unfortunately, after reinstalling, all my Tampermonkey scripts were lost. I had been collecting those scripts for years, and I would really appreciate any help you can provide to recover them.

Thanks in advance!

@guillmz read my comment above. If you didn't back up the folder AppData\Local\Chrome, then you can't recover them, because your chrome installation probably overrode the folder I mentioned above, especially if you installed tampermonkey again and those scripts are not there.
