Where Does SunsetScreen Store Profiles on Windows?
Where SunsetScreen keeps color profiles and settings on Windows for backup and full moves.
Last updated
SunsetScreen keeps color temperature profiles, sunset schedules and hotkeys in one data folder: settings plus presets beside it. Installed builds use AppData; portable builds keep everything next to the binary.
Copy with SunsetScreen closed; the tray instance locks settings while running. Transition times follow location settings, so verify coordinates after moves. Check the exe folder first on portable installs.

Frequently asked questions
How do I back up SunsetScreen profiles?
Close SunsetScreen and copy its AppData folder elsewhere. Profiles and schedules 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 settings file loads on start is the live one. The tray menu shows the running build type.
