use command 3 on the first menu that shows up automatically after you open the wallet
Challenge accepted... I backed up the wallet.dat file that I had created by doing restore from seed my way (ie - using command line switches) and tried restoring from seed by selecting option 3.
All seemed to be going well until I found out I had to manually type in the 25 word recovery seed because copy and paste was blocked - and yes, this is Windows 10, not Windows 7, so I should have been allowed to paste in the seed. Needless to say, having to manually type in the seed is frustrating, time consuming and prone to typos, and I can't think of a single benefit to blocking copy-and-paste so that should be addressed before releasing the wallet to the wider world.
And yet again y'all roped me into bug hunting...
Will check why copy-paste didn't worked in windows 10. Its working for all including Linux, MacOS, Freebsd etc. Till date only two users including you have reported this, will try to fix and dig more about this.
