If you don't see your torrent files, try this

It's not the only answer and won't solve every issue, of course, but if whatever happened to me is happening to you, it might be worth a shot

When uTorrent did not open with any of my torrent files listed that were previously there, I did the following steps and got it working.

Turned off - auto load torrents (Options >Preferences >Other Options)

Made sure the directories for torrents, finished torrents, files, and finished files were all different, and of course, all torrent files were in the torrent directory.

(Options >Preferences >Folder Options).

--I know most of you'all know this, but I just want to be complete for anyone who doesn't--

I individually removed the .loaded suffix, which was on all the torrents. (In Windows Explorer)

Then, File >Add torrent

highighted all torrent files and clicked Open to add them all to uTorrent

Highlighted all the files in uTorrent and right-clicked >Stop and then >Force Re-check

After that, one by one they re-checked and then I highlighted them all again and clicked on >Start

Now it works
