Conan Exiles (Dedicated Server) Config File Location (Windows)

Conan Exiles (Dedicated Server) stores its config files at C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Conan Exiles Dedicated Server\ConanSandbox\Saved\Config\WindowsServer on Windows. That folder holds the server rule set — multipliers, timers, slot counts and the admin list. Checkpoint64 already knows it, backs it up automatically and keeps earlier versions, so a config that got reset is one click from restored.
