For anyone having this problem, my advice would be:
1. Uninstall Audiotonic
2. Download and install the real "Audacity 2.4.2" (available via the Audacity website:
https://www.audacityteam.org/download/)
During the installation, enable the option to "
Reset Preferences".
3. If you need to fix any broken projects, get a "plain text editor" (For Windows I'd recommend
NotePad++).
(make a backup copy of the .AUP file before doing anything else)
Open the .AUP file in NotePad++ and find this near the top of the file:
Code: Select all
version="2.1.0.0" audacityversion="2.1.0.0"
change that to:
Code: Select all
version="1.3.0" audacityversion="2.1.0"
What do we do after we change the code? I’m not savvy of this type of thing

1. Save the edited file.
2. Close NotePad++
3. Launch Audacity.
4. "File menu > Open"

I changed the code in Notepad per Steve’s instructions, saved and reopened and bingo! (I’m trying to find where to find how to turn off any auto updates from the Microsoft store. The “terminate” button doesn’t work. If anyone knows how do do that, that would be great. Thanks, Steve!

If you have a version of Audacity from Microsoft Store, I'd recommend that you uninstall it completely and install the official version of Audacity 2.4.2 that you can download via the Audacity website:

Hello,
I am having this exact same problem. My project will not open and a pop-up box says "my file was saved using Audacity 2.1..0.0"...etc. Can you please help me recover this file?
Thank you.
