Helps to get a downgraded Desktop 1.2.7 ???

Hello still there, downgrading to Desktop 1.2.7. restored all and is working as before
Hence, DON'T UPGRADE TO 1.2.8!!!!
It had cost me 2 intense hours. It was not my first upgrade frustration!

Developers, please test before proposing upgrade !!!

You're the first person who has reported such an issue. Thanks for the report.
Would you mind providing the desktop log files to our engineers?

You find them here: FAQ · neo4j-devtools/neo4j-desktop Wiki · GitHub

Best via a GH issue on

Hello Michael,
thanks for your prompt interest in my mess. Now I work best with downgraded ver 1.2.7.
I found a usable log only in
C:\Users\wolfg\AppData\Roaming\Neo4j Desktop\logs\renderer.log

From the yesterday 2020-05-19 on in the attached file (I canceled all days before)
hope that helps, please don't mind my sometimes critical harsh comments
