Asking for a friend. Friend is not very computer literate and I don't torrent.
Friend uses a program called Qbittorrent, and - with the usual claims of "I didn't change anything" - the plugins have vanished. I was skeptical, but cannot get them to reinstall and search shows that others have had this problem, but I can't find a solution that works.
Fiend says that the Jackett plugin is the most important, but would like to get all recovered/reinstalled.
[Update] Windows 10.
Also, "update all" (search plugins) doesn't work, but it does say that all of them are not supported - so, it knows which I had installed. How? If I can find that & delete it, maybe I have a chance?)
[Ipdate++} And, suddenly, after removing Jackett and rebooting, this morning I find that Update All works - including for Jackett !! I have a happy friend - and I am glad to see the back of that favo(u)r

Go to the %LOCALAPPDATA% folder (press Win + R and type %LOCALAPPDATA% in the box and press Enter.
Delete these two directories:
qBittorrent/nova3/__pycache__/
qBittorrent/nova3/engines/
And this file:
qBittorrent/nova3/__init__.py
Then you can install the plugins as normal.
If that doesn't work, look at
