### Bug description
After auto-upgrade from 3.16.2 to 3.16.3, the configuration was no longer applied and the setup dialog was shown.
Downgrading to 3.16.2 used the configuration again.
I start with a command-line specified `--confdir` parameter. I see from the last-modified timestamps in the directory that it is being picked up, it just does not apply the configuration.
My Nextcloud Desktop client is started via:
```
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Nextcloud\nextcloud.exe" --confdir Y:\AppData\Local\nextCloud
```
### Steps to reproduce
1. Restart 3.16.2 as it asked to auto-update to 3.16.3.
2. Restart PC
3. Restart Nextcloud as usual. Setup dialog is shown like no configuration was applied.
4. Downgrading to 3.16.2 works, configuration is picked up again.
### Expected behavior
The configuration and existing sync folders from 3.16.2 should be picked up and configuration should be read.
