What is there in C:\Users\Nepu\AppData\Roaming\Blender Foundation\Blender\2.80? Does it contain any files? Did you run any build of 2.80 before?

The folder contains a lot of files yes. Prior to the full 2.80 release, I did not run any other version of it, I was using 2.79.

I can confirm this issue, I've run into it too on various occasions. The root of the issue is that shutil.copytree() requires that the destination directory doesn't exist yet. If this does exist, for example by the file browser writing the recently visited locations to bookmarks.txt, the 'Copy Old Settings' button fails.
