Visual Menus not working on my new computer - SOLVED

I finally got a better computer, much more powerful with a graphics card and all. In transferring DS to the new hardware, I've lost Visual Menus. The hot keys don't respond. I did try deleting the hot key assignments in Workspace/Customize/Custom Actions, and then reassigning them, but that had no effect.

Starting from Windows 7, DS 4.10.123, I'm now using Windows 10, same DS version. Redownloaded and installed VisualMenus, all my content is on an outboard drive, and VisualMenus still works as usual on my original machine from the same content drive. I did transfer my AppData custom actions and all to the new machine, and so far everything works correctly, except VisualMenus, ie, I have and can use my custom toolbars, etc, so the issue seems only related to VisualMenus. No response to assigned hotkeys.

I don't see any need for a serial number or other specific plugin registration info, so I'm at a loss.

Anyone have an idea?

    (1) First just to be clear when you click on VisualMenus.dse it opens your Visual Menus Dashboard?  If not go to scripts and find it.

    2. Did you reassign the Visual Menu hotkeys or shortcuts?  Eevry new install you need to resetup shortcuts.  You can import menus and templates.  But not the shortcuts.  Press F3 in DazStudio and look under Custom.  They need to show there to work.

    Thank you, Saxa...

    As I said, I reassigned directly in Workspace/Customize/Actions/Custom, and that didn't work, although the hot keys did show there, and in the script window correctly.

    However, when I used the script itself to reassign, without making any changes to the assigments, just hitting Apply and Accept in Workspace/Customize/..., they activated and are now available, which is great.

    I was remembering from a year ago, trouble assigning hotkeys from within the script, and crash issues that ensued, so I didn't think to try that here and now. Fortunately, there were no crash issues at all this time around.

    VisualMenus is a huge time/click saver that I rely on heavily, and it's a relief to have it up and running again.
