Electronic Libraries are infuriating and syncing/linking sucks

I've been trying to switch from Eagle to Fusion and had the idea to rebuild and restructure my libraries.
As a test/practice run I created a library with some headers.
During the process I ran into numerous bugs that caused fusion to crash.
Which is where it started to turn sour.
(I had Fusion crash on me about 15 times in 1 day. I can provide you with more details if you want them but I have also submitted the crash reports)
After learning where those bugs were, I could work around them (not ideal, but OK).
Now that I have my library finished I turned to a new electronic design.
But my library named "Headers" is nowhere to be found.
So I opened the library manager
and there it is, my library named Headers.
Though the library manager insists the library is in use, I can't get the library to appear in the ADD dialog.
However, in both the library manager and the ADD dialog an older version of my library appears.
Namely the last version before I renamed my library from "Connectors" to "Headers".
Two things:
1.) Please fix the way things sync. The user experience sucks (mainly because of the frequent crashes)
2.) Is there any way I can salvage the work I did on the library?
things I tried to get the library to show up in the ADD dialog so far include:
- Running the UPDATE command,
- which does show the library like the library manager
- Using the "Update design from library" button, which also shows the library
- Removing the library from used and re-adding it.
- Restarting Fusion.
- Restarting my PC.
- Renaming the library with a new name, or the old name.
- Promoting an older version of the library of which I know did work before
