Hm, from your post I conclude that you probably _did_ LOAD after starting the calculator, to recover your SAVEd config.

In any case, LOAD should restore the MyMenu as well. Because of some changes that were made in the code, it is possible that a SAVE from a previous version cannot be (completely) loaded. Maybe that is the case here.

Though the C43 software is of course still in development, we are trying to make things like this work across versions more gracefully. That is about the depth of what I know of this at the moment. I am developing most of the documentation for C43, so I try to keep track of these things.
Yes you are right - it is supposed to be loaded with SAVE/LOAD.

I did a quick experiment to verify a bug/not, and found that when you reload after a restart (I tested using the auto reload) the MyMenu does not show immediately. Only after you activate USER (f[2]) it activates MyMenu, which then stays active even if USER is off. This is a bug and will be fixed. MyMenu is not dependant on USER.

As Robbert said - it is in progress and changes happen. We try keep the save file format the same, but on the 2022-12-31 version, it was announced that backup file bugs caused the previous version not to auto-load. Just today again I included real number format improvements (from Pauli) to the code which again will prevent auto load to work when the new version is release in a week or three.

Hi,
I've gone to the system menu to add 1 hour to the time.
Then gone back with "Run the program".

Since then, I get a "Oops, I've crashed" and a Hard Fault in a loop no matter how many times I reset the calculator. I cannot even shut it down.
Any idea?

Have you tried to reset using the button in the hole and pressing F1 at the same time? (Press F1, keep pressed in, then reset, release F1).
You can set the time and date in the CLK menu, btw

Thanks. I've been able to flash a more recent version and it solved the problem.
