Where Does Flawless Widescreen Store Plugins?
Flawless Widescreen is portable: plugins and cache live in its install folder under PluginCache. Back up that folder.
Last updated
Flawless Widescreen keeps everything beside its executable, defaulting to C:\Program Files (x86)\Flawless Widescreen. Downloaded game plugins land in PluginCache (notably FWS_Plugins\Modules), display profiles and settings sit alongside, and manual plugin drops merge into the same tree. There is no AppData or registry state to chase.
That portability is the backup story: copy the folder and you keep every fix. It also explains the failure mode. Game updates break injection points per plugin while FWS itself stays healthy, so a dead fix usually means the plugin needs a community update, not a reinstall. Keep FWS running in the background while playing; fixes inject at launch.

Frequently asked questions
how do i back up flawless widescreen
Copy the whole install folder (plugins, PluginCache, display profiles) with FWS closed. It is portable with no registry or AppData state, so the folder is the complete backup. Restore anywhere and relaunch.
how do i install community fws plugins
Drop the plugin folders into the Flawless Widescreen install dir (beside PluginCache) and restart FWS. Community packs ship plugins plus plugincache folders; merging both restores the full set. Enable per game inside the app afterwards.
