Kodi directory copy to other insatnces no longer works for Krypton/Win Store

All, I have multiple instances of Kodi and in v16 have been setting up look/feel/plugins/etc on one PC and then copying the kodi directory to the others to get them all the same. I recently downloaded Krypton AND changed to the official Win 10 store app.

Seems like this approach no longer works.I am now using the kodi directory under the new location “packages/etc/etc’ but to no avail. When I start the Kodi on the other PCs, it says there are missing plugins/addons etc — which there are not (at least they seem to be in the addons directory). It has a ton of failures/can’t install dependencies/etc.

Anyone have any insights into this?

I may revert to non-win 10 store version to see if that helps at all. Not sure if its windows app store related or Krypton changes …
