So why did supervisor suddenly decide to change settings?
Because it was updated silently in the background. Supervisor auto-updates.

Iām away from home for a few days and am seeing this. My system is normally very stable, but seeing this for the first time, Iām hesitant to do what it says when Iām away. Whatās the recommendation: leave things alone for now or go ahead and restart?
just submit to repair, it is okay for me. Everythingās fine.
I keep getting this with letsencrypt addon from official HA repository. Itās very old, but I would not have noticed it to be deprecated.
I haver restarted both the addon and HA several times, clicked the button, it always comes backā¦
Any advice?
Just wait until HA fully restarts and it will go away. I.e. no more āsetting up xyz messagesā in the lower corner.
It hasnāt. I have created an issue.
Edit: now resolved spontaneously

I received the the enclosed notification
The only option to clear it is to click submit. Did this and it reset all my YAML files back to default ie. empty! Had to do a full restore!
That wonāt clear your files, you most likely just need to refresh your page or wait for supervisor to catch up.
Thanks - Iāve never seen it before. Iāll wait a bit longer - refresh and 16+ restarts doesnāt do anything 
Thereās a good chance something else is wrong. Your files wonāt just be deleted. Itās most likely that whatever addon youāre using to view the files is having problems.

Iām probably not being clear. When I press submit all the standard YAML files (configuration.yaml etc) are reset to default (as per the screen shot) - effectively empty.
The default configuration does not have empty files. Thatās why Iām saying something else is wrong. Addons just look at files, if they canāt see the file but you have it āopenā, it will display an empty file. If you search the forums, otherās have had similar issues. But your files are still in tact in your config folder. You can verify this by looking at the files directly using the Samba Share addon and viewing the files from an external computer.
The files are still there, but have been overwritten with ādefaultā content. I can see this using Studio Code Viewer.
That makes no sense, that button just restarted the container. Something else occurred that caused this to happen prior to you clicking that button. On startup, HA will create a config if a config doesnāt exist. What installation method are you running?
Iām running the following on a Synology Diskstation using Virtual Machine Manager. Itās been rock solid.
Home Assistant 2023.6.3
Supervisor 2023.06.4
Operating System 10.3
Frontend 20230608.0 - latest
What does āTo update the configuration with the new defaults, a restart is required for the following:ā mean?
there are container defaults that are managed by the supervisor. They are 100% separate from configuration.yaml. This action does not touch your configuraiton files, it touches configuration files for the container. So something else happened PRIOR to you pressing that button that removed your configuration. Do you have a backup? If yes, just restore the core config from your backup and update again.
I have restored from a backup. I can try again, but not sure why I would see different results?
Well, you can go through the process again and see if that button is actually deleting your config. Run through the process, document each step youāre doing and post the results here. Right now, we have 0 information and youāre the only person hitting this issue.
The only oddity I see is that youāre running on a unfamiliar VM ware. Not sure if thatās causing your issues.
