I'm using Windows 11 and migrating from a Windows 10 machine. Both machines using qBittorrent 4.5.4. No VPN. New and old IP both static and the same. Ports forwarded exactly the same.
When I bring over my old data (%APPDATA%\qBittorrent and %LOCALAPPDATA%\qBittorrent) the program loads fine and shows all my torrents correctly, but it will not transmit any data up or down and shows "Connection Status: Offline" and port checkers show my port is not open.
If I uninstall and remove all data and cached files then start a clean session and only change my listening port, I can now download and upload just fine. "Connection Status: Online". Port checkers show the port is open.
I really need my torrent data loaded, but I obviously need to be able to transfer as well.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Installation on new computer doesn't work with old configuration files but works with clean install

Solved it by deleting %APPDATA%\qBittorrent\qBittorrent.ini.
This wiped out my settings, but left all of my torrent data intact.
Perhaps someone could recommend a specific line or section in the file that could have been removed while leaving most settings intact.
