Check the secrets menu. If you see things unlocked there, then it worked. Don't expect to see your earned completion marks though, they won't appear with the alt+f2 method. It's annoying but normal.


If you have at least one expansion installed, use a backup to get your progress back instead.

Repentance, AB+ and AB create backups automatically there:
C:\Users\[your name]\Documents\My Games\Binding of Isaac Repentance
C:\Users\[your name]\Documents\My Games\Binding of Isaac Afterbirth+
C:\Users\[your name]\Documents\My Games\Binding of Isaac Afterbirth

Pick one (check its date of creation), copy it, replace your current save with the copy (don't forget to rename it properly).
Current saves (the ones the game reads) are located there:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata\[some number]\250900\remote
(Adapt to wherever you installed Steam.)

Repentance saves start with "rep_", AB+ saves with "abp_", AB saves with "ab_". The number at the end is the save slot (1, 2 or 3), "persistentgamedata" files are the saves themselves (the one you're supposed to replace with the backup), "gamestate" files are the continue option, "rerunstate" files are the rerun option.

1 year later but if you have this issue again, if you have an nvidia graphics card and geforce experience you will need to rebind any key combination that's bound to "alt f2" for it to work or else it will just eat the input
