This can in principle be done by creating a suitable
"texworks-setup.ini" file, though I don't think this is the right
way to go in your case. If you are interested, look in the manual
for "portable" mode.

This is a custom storage location set by the MiKTeX developers.<br>

<br>
My suspicion is that you are running two different versions of
TeXworks (or that MiKTeX's storage location override failed in the
first case).<br>
<br>
What is the output of "Help > About TeXworks..."?<br>

<br>
Following the train of thought above, it may very well be that the
dictionaries are still present, but TeXworks doesn't find them
anymore because it is looking in a different location...<br>
