We should report the setting path with native slashes: 
 C:\Users\marc\AppData\Local\Mixx\

See:

Mixxx v2.3.0-beta - Command line options
(These are case-sensitive.)

[FILE] Load the specified music file(s) at start-up.
Each file you specify will be loaded into the
next virtual deck.

--resourcePath PATH Top-level directory where Mixxx should look
for its resource files such as MIDI mappings,
overriding the default installation location.

--settingsPath PATH Top-level directory where Mixxx should look
for settings. Default is:
C:/Users/marc/AppData/Local/Mixxx/

--controllerDebug Causes Mixxx to display/log all of the controller
data it receives and script functions it loads

--developer Enables developer-mode. Includes extra log info,
stats on performance, and a Developer tools menu.

--safeMode Enables safe-mode. Disables OpenGL waveforms,
and spinning vinyl widgets. Try this option if
Mixxx is crashing on startup.

--locale LOCALE Use a custom locale for loading translations
(e.g 'fr')

-f, --fullScreen Starts Mixxx in full-screen mode

--logLevel LEVEL Sets the verbosity of command line logging
critical - Critical/Fatal only
warning - Above + Warnings
info - Above + Informational messages
debug - Above + Debug/Developer messages
trace - Above + Profiling messages

--logFlushLevel LEVEL Sets the the logging level at which the log buffer
is flushed to mixxx.log. LEVEL is one of the values
defined at --logLevel above.

-h, --help Display this help message and exit

Is the slash direction actually wrong? IIRC Qt can underatands forward slashes on all platforms, even Windows.

Yes, but not the user. All user visible paths should have the native separators.

In case you open a new PR, please simply post the PR url here.
The branch name is rather useless, finding it is cumbersome, also "Bug465616161" strings will be auto-linked as you can see above.
Thank You!

Thanks for the info, I'm coming back into dev after a long time out.
Previous PR affected the translation sources, this should update those.
