Check Existing Issues

I have searched the existing issues and discussions.
I am using the latest version of Open WebUI.

Installation Method

Pip Install

Open WebUI Version

v0.6.10

Ollama Version (if applicable)

No response

Operating System

Windows 11

Browser (if applicable)

No response

Confirmation

I have read and followed all instructions in README.md.
I am using the latest version of both Open WebUI and Ollama.
I have included the browser console logs.
I have included the Docker container logs.
I have listed steps to reproduce the bug in detail.

Expected Behavior

Updating should retain everything as it normally does.

Actual Behavior

All chats and models deleted after updating v0.6.09 to v0.6.10

Steps to Reproduce

Usually run these commands via powershell: pip install -U open-webui
open-webui serve --host 0.0.0.0
As the update v0.6.09 to v0.6.10 was not working for me I had to install "Desktop development with C++" using "Visual Studio Build Tools 2022", per AIs suggestion, which finally allowed it to update
But after opning the OpenWeb UI webpage I had to fill in my full name and credentials for Admin (which probably means my normal profile was not loaded or deleted)

Might be related: last week or two ago I installed Anaconda and ended up having to add the Anaconda PATHs to the envornmental variables (think it's related due to looking at the powershell prompt logs). I've deleted those PATHs and reverted back to v0.6.09 but the issue persists and I'm on the new blank profile still...

Additional Information

Is it possible that my original profile with all its chats and models is still somewhere on my computer? And that it's just a case of changing the profile path?
