Not that I am recommenimg Windows, it is close source, a reason some bitcoin enthusiasts may not use it. But for just Windows users to know about this before updating their Electrum wallet to version 4.2.0
I can understand your concern here because almost most of users are using windows over other OSs for the reasons we all know. Thank you for sharing the info.
Based on what you mentioned, i have two questions :
1. I have an old cell phone i bought it on 2019. I installed electrum at that time and didn't update it since then (can't tell if the updates was done automatically) and then i left that cell phone since 2020. Last January i re-opened Electrum in that mobile , i found that i am not able to create a new seed (i have already three previous wallets). Anyone has an explanation?
To generate a new seed you have to create a new wallet file. Go to the 3 dots icon in the top right and choose wallets. Then tap new. Enter a unique filename and it'll take you to the new wallet creation wizard. Choose 'standard wallet' in the first step and 'create a new seed' in the second.
