Where Does Volume2 Store Profiles on Windows?
Where Volume2 keeps volume profiles, hotkeys and settings on Windows for backup and full moves.
Last updated
Volume2 keeps volume profiles, hotkeys and OSD settings in one data folder: an INI file plus skins beside it. Installed builds use AppData; portable builds keep everything next to the binary.
Copy with Volume2 closed; the tray instance locks settings while running. Per device profiles travel in the same file, so audio swaps need no extra backup. Check the exe folder first on portable installs every time.

Frequently asked questions
How do I back up Volume2 profiles?
Close Volume2 and copy its AppData folder elsewhere. Profiles and hotkeys 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 Volume2.ini beside the binary. Whichever settings file loads on start is the live one. The tray menu shows the running build type.
