Where Does ClickMonitorDDC Store Settings on Windows?
Where ClickMonitorDDC keeps monitor settings and shortcuts on Windows for backup and moves.
Last updated
ClickMonitorDDC keeps monitor brightness, contrast and input settings in one data folder: settings plus monitor profiles beside it. Installed builds use AppData; portable builds keep everything next to the binary.
Copy with the app closed; the tray instance locks settings while running. DDC support varies per monitor, so profiles from other displays may not apply. Check the exe folder first on portable installs.

Frequently asked questions
How do I back up ClickMonitorDDC settings?
Close ClickMonitorDDC and copy its data folder elsewhere. Monitor settings and shortcuts travel together. Portable builds keep data beside the executable instead, so check there first.
Portable or installed: which settings are live?
Installed builds use AppData while portable zips keep settings beside the binary. Whichever file loads on start is the live one. DDC commands need monitors that answer on the new PC too.
