Hi, they're probably failing for the same reason they failed while importing the xmp files directly: in general the history stack data is not backwards compatible. It may be in some cases, but in the particular case of 3.9 and 3.8 it is most certainly not. The good news is the data should still be there, the bad news is that you'll need at least the version you used to save them to read them again. Fortunately there are some dev versions for windows floating around, check here: https://discuss.pixls.us/t/darktable-windows-insider-program-4-17/30415
