Description

![photo_2025-01-07_13-53-07](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/11e2051f-0c69-47c0-af5c-146fb60e475a)

**Describe the bug**
Somtimes files just vanish from the Kubo app on Windows 10. You add them, but after some time or a restart, they’re gone from the list.

**To Reproduce**
Steps to see the issue:
1. Open Kubo on Wndows 10.
2. Add a file to IPFS.
3. Wait or restart the app.
4. Check the list — the file isn’t their anymore.

**Expected behaviour**
Files should stay visable in the app unless I remove them myself.

**Screenshots**
Here’s a screnshot showing the problem: [[link](https://t.me/donoperinfo/53746)](https://t.me/donoperinfo/53746).

**Desktop (please complete the following information):**
- **OS:** Windows 10
- **Kubo Version:** 40

**Additional context**
This bug happens on any configuration of mashines and mods running Windows OS. Once it apears, the Kubo interface *never* works properly again on that machine.
Tried everything to clean the system: uninstalls, removing configs, clearing data — no efect. It keeps finding some broken state of configuration and reintroduces the isue.
