Workspace layout lost again.
When upgrading to 14.1.1 workspace reverted to default space. Lost tool pallet etc and would not reset. Had to revert to the saved workspace from the beta version my saved version wouldn't as it should. Took some time to reset tools etc.
Also had to relaunch the update twice before it would open correctly.

I don't believe your workspace is lost. Well, maybe not lost. Did you ever save it as a saved workspace? If so it is not lost.
Which workspace you are currently using is an application preference and that preference seems to be reset to the default workspace whenever a new version of Capture One is installed. If you use the Window -> Workspace menu you should see your saved workspace. Select it. Capture One will remember your choice and show that workspace until you change it to something else or a new version of Capture One is installed.
Hint: when making changes to your workspace don't forget to save it again. I usually discover I've forgotten that step when restoring my chosen workspace after installing a new version and seeing it is not quite what I'd been using.

Thanks, Markco for the suggestion. I have several saved workspaces for different workflows. For some reason with this update, some of the older workspaces got corrupted somewhere somehow and would not load I discovered after posting my original comment. Luckily I have other copies created in v21.
The only reason I bring this up is that it just started happening in v20 & 21 defaulting back to the original install. Previously v8 to v12 my workspace wouldn't default back to the original install.
It's not a big deal redundancy is your friend.

I've also experienced saved workspace corruption in both v20 and 21. In my case, it's always a particular workspace that spans two monitors. The corruption's consistent: C1 "magically" inserts an icon or 2 into the main toolbar, and when I go to customize the toolbar to get rid of the problem, the inserted item is offset vertically from all the rest and can't be removed.
Workspaces are saved as plist files. I looked at the corrupted plist with BBEdit (the free version) and found multiple entries for the unwanted icons. Removing them solved the problem for a while, but eventually C1 decided to corrupt that workspace again. I finally solved the problem by locking the workspace in Finder, which of course also means that I can't modify/save the workspace until I manually unlock the file.
The other thing I've learned to do is save copies of all of my workspaces in a different directory so if I experience corruption again, all I need to do is copy the copy back to the original folder.
