ChessBase 15 Issue

I spent several hours opening new databases (various purchased software bundles like all my Chess Informants, Big Database 2016, Correspondence Database, all my ChessBase Mag and ChessBase Mag extra, plus all of the other specialty databases I created.  The program crashed and I lost everything on my main databases screens.  This has happened 3 times with the new ChessBase 15.  When I rebooted and restarted the program all databases were missing.

Has anyone had this issue before?

Is there a way to save the desktop configuration so I can save as I add databases?  That way, if the program blows up, I can just restore my previously saved configuration.

At this point, I'm ready to go back to ChessBase 14, as that has not happened with that version.

This is why i never run out and buy anything new.  I always wait for awhile so the bugs can get worked out.

Chessbase 15 is really quite good. The best so far. One guess would be you are deleting something on the computer. The documents file for example or wherever the path from the database to the chessbase 15 program. You obviously can go from open icon to find where the database is located and add to chessbase 15. Always can go to chessbase support. They are quite helpful but takes a couple of days for reply.  Don't give up on 15 its much better than 14 and that was excellent.

An easy fix is to open a few databases and then close the program. It will save that configuration. Repeat until you have all the databases on you desktop that you want.
