When I ran GC 3.11 it opened the last-used file, but:

had open.

Liabilities, Net Worth, though the accounts are there if I click the
triangles.
I vaguely recall seeing a thread or two on -user about this. I don't
think anything is wrong, you just have to reset your columns and reset
your expanded accounts. See below about file migrations.
* All of my saved report configurations are gone.
3.x changed the file name of the saved reports. I thought the migration
had been fixed as of 3.11, but some folks did have some issues.
If I recall correctly, find the file in your GNC_DATA_HOME directory
labeled saved-reports-2.6 and rename it to saved-reports-2.8 (this was
supposed to be the next major version after 2.6 before the version
scheme was changed, and the devs have left the 'saved-reports-x.y' file
at 2.8 ever since.)
Since you are embarking on a migration of several versions, it would be
a good idea to familiarize yourself with the following Wiki on file
locations:
https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Configuration_Locations
and this handy diagram:
https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Configuration_Diagrams_-_Windows
and note the differences between 2.6.x and 3.x+
After migrating the relevant files from the 2.6.x locations to the new
locations and names that didn't get migrated automatically, you may find
everything is as you expect.
I did check, and there was no %APPDATA%\GnuCash folder on the 2.6.21
machine before I cloned it. The 3.11 installer, or the application,
created %APPDATA%\GnuCash containing:
subfolder books (containing a 2 KB .gcm file)
subfolder checks (empty)
subfolder translog (empty)
accelerator-map, 20 KB
expressions-2.0, 0 bytes
stylesheets-2.0, 2 KB
There *should* have been an %APPDATA%/GnuCash folder.
From your list, it is not surprising that saved reports are missing, as
the file is as well, even with the old name.
If that 2.6.21 VM never had it, you should be able to copy it from
whatever other working 2.6.x version you have.

Adrien
