After updating from 4.15. to 4.16 my DAZ 3D looks like shown in the screenshot. It has practically become unusable.
I am already downloading the new installation file, but has anyone experienced this?

That looks very much like Daz Studio was still running (maybe just in the background doing it's closing routines) when you installed the new version.
Check it has completely stopped (if you are in Windows, use the Task Manager to make sure it's not still running - I don't know how to do that on a Mac) before you attempt to install again.
I quit the program before updating it, but maybe you are right and it didn't quit all the way and some task was still running in the background.
Or was the problem that I used Install Manager (DIM)? I noticed that there is now DAZ Central. I have been kind of absent from working in the 3D world ever since Covid started. So I guess I have missed a lot of news...
BTW, after re-installing it via DAZ Central 4.16 runs just fine and all settings have been inherrited.
Do not use Daz Central! It is simply a stripped down version of DIM. I found it caused more problems than it solved.
