AFAIK, the default preferences folder is:

where <user> is your actual user name. Did you maybe create a symbolic link to the folder that you mentioned?
Also what happens if you press WIN+R, paste the following path into the Run box and hit Enter:

First, let me humbly apologise for my error in the path in my original post - when correcting the '/' to '\' for Windows, I pasted in a part of the Linux path.
I confirm that my preferences location on the Windows box is:
C:\Users\pnj\AppData\Local\sigil-ebook\sigil
It seems that the problems are down to my machine. It was a W10 box which I upgraded to W11 last summer. I only use it occasionally when I need a couple of applications which don't run well on linux - and when I'm in W11, I'll sometimes use Sigil (which happened today).
I've never, as far as I can recall, ever set any environment variables.
When I press WIN+R & paste the following
Code:
%localappdata%\sigil-ebook\sigil
into the Run box and hit Enter: it correctly opens the preferences location.
So do I conclude that there is something wrong with my Sigil installation?
Afterthought: I recall sometime ago that when I tried to update KDP Previewer3, I got a message saying the upgrade wouldn't work with some mention, IIRC, of inability to find something related to QT. My fix then was simply to delete the old Previewer and make a new installation of the latest version.
