uninstalling it with uninstall.exe we should try installing the new version

Features?

However it should give me my bookmarks toolbar/bookmark menu back
and I don't want to risk loosing that again.

Thoughts/suggestions?

That would depend on how the installer for the new version works.

The developers have two choices.

1) Call the Windows interface, and ask it to remove the program.
The Windows subsystem (by some means), knows that Helper.exe
is the thing declared by the developer for this.

2) The installer can "know from experience", that certain
folders have certain materials, and call "Helper.exe" directly.

(2) would be the best design for your purposes.

(1) would be the best design from a "program compliance"
perspective. Maybe Enterprise IT staff appreciate this.

I would agree in normal situations, that "installing anything"
is a good experiment for "refreshing materials". I'm sure there
are lots of bugs that get fixed this way,

In my other post, where I encouraged a bit of experimentation,
this follows along the theme of "the Profile folder has had
some unintentional changes made to it". Reinstalling won't
fix that, because the application considers the state it finds
things in, to be "within the range of normal". It thinks you
customized the application the way you wanted, and it's not going
to fix it. This is why I encouraged trying experiments with
"Customize", within reason.
