You can use Properties.Settings.Default.SettingsUpgradeRequired variable to check for updates. If there is something new, use Properties.Settings.Default.Upgrade

if (Properties.Settings.Default.SettingsUpgradeRequired)
        {
            try
            {
                Properties.Settings.Default.Upgrade();
                Properties.Settings.Default.SettingsUpgradeRequired = false;
                Properties.Settings.Default.Save();
            }
            catch (Exception e)
            {                    
            }
        }
