Gnucash 3.1 is supposed to migrate from this directory to
c:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\GnuCash
I don't know why this didn't happen for you.

This directory should be generated as part of the first-time run of gnucash
3.1.
Can you do an experiment to help evaluate the migration step ?
Can you
1. quit gnucash if it's still running
2. rename
"C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\GnuCash"
to
"C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\GnuCash.bkp"
That moves it out of the way of gnucash.
3. Start gnucash
=> Does it report a migration of meta data ?
4. Quit gnucash
5. Locate the most recent trace file [1] and post it here.

Indeed. You manually completed the migration. I would like to figure out why
this didn't happen in the first place.
Thanks,
