I'm using Steelseries Apex 350 keyboard since 2.5yrs and regularly update steelseries engine.
I have set many custom macros and profiles per my requirements to easy my office tasks.

A day ago I received this update SteelSeriesEngine GG update, installed it it seems & when I opened it, this is what I get when I try to login. But my profiles were working good but hated this update just like other users on the net.

r/steelseries - Steelseries engine weird issues after update

I decided to rollback to older ver. but not before backing up my existing configurations.

So backed up relative folders/files in these path "%ProgramData\SteelSeries\SteelSeries Engine 3"

Then uninstalled this ver. and rebooted.

Install an old ver. like 3.19 and restored the backup contents but then:

Steelseries engine refuses to start at startup as it should:

r/steelseries - Steelseries engine weird issues after update

When I manually launch it, it works good but again same like above thing.

Now I"m stuck in a situation that neither old version nor new ones are working properly with my backup restored . Nope my backup isnt corrupted etc. as I have taken multiple backup in the past as well.

Although, if I dont restore backup it starts fine at startup in the systray except my profiles aren't there.

Does the engine update also updates our keyboard firmware?

I would prefer to reset the factory the keyboard but not finding proper way for this model.

Kindly help as I want it to work all good like early. I cant even remember all those settings etc. as they were bit complex.
