Dear All,

I have found out how to reset preferences: JabRef menu, Options -> the rightmost icon button in the left bottom corner “Reset preferences”.

I have reset, and restarted JabRef 5.10. No error message. It works perfectly!

Thank you very much for your time and effort to help me and others.

Best regards, petersaly
