Thanks, Compatibility.ini says I was on 102.15.1. So I zipped the v128 
installation, restored v91 installation (last time I backed-up the 
install folder) and "updated" to v102, that took care of the executable. 
As for the profile, I got a robocopy script that backs it up so I 
restored it from Monday.

I tried deleting then re-subscribing to one of my feeds in v128 but same 
issue, all I got was the articles summary. It's possible that on a brand 
new profile the feeds work, I haven't tried, it would be a lot of 
trouble starting from scratch.
