Not sure if this relates, but I noticed this right after they implemented the Place Versions Remaster/Remake. I wouldn’t be surprised if something seemingly unrelated being updated and changed by Roblox broke Studio’s core this badly.
Seems to be the case, receiving the same issue – that my entire settings reset for rendering, and just anything like text or camera related configurations.
Likewise, Roblox is making the effort to revamp everything that during this case they do not take the proper action to ensure the main important things (such as data) isn’t effected. 
Same issues with me! Luckily, I only changed rendering and enabled diagnostics, so it’s not a big thing for me.
Same here, been happening since a while ago now, everything resets, the rendering quality, camera and basically all of my configurations and even the language. Hope this gets fixed quickly

I still don’t understand how saving place versions via their website(which solely keeps track of all that fun stuff in their servers) has made this much of a mess on our own system application data.
Really shouldn’t be the issue, but it is something that played a part in the scenario when they made these updates, decided that I would just backup settings – but it definitely effects workflow and the certain adjustments I had made in my own ‘comfortable’ setting. Hopefully a fix is brought into this.
It shouldn’t be the issue, but it somehow made it worse to where many more are experiencing this issue than before. I had to halt my development because I have to take time out of my life every session to change settings I had perfect. It isn’t even just the settings that made me freeze everything, plugins and studio windows(that hold the explorer for the game and such) all freak out when playtesting. It is a whole mess that isn’t worth developing until fixed, which is a shame. I hope they can do a settings rollback for affected users, if they even kept backups(either local or cloud, bet they have something with the amount of data they grab, even if they don’t admit it).
Has happened to me two times now, first time was two days ago, now it happened again today, getting annoyed
- Camera Settings Reset
- Code Viewer Settings Reset
- Graphics Settings Reset

I have noticed whenever I use ROBLOX Player to play a game, my Studio settings keep resetting.

I just tried checking this and yeah that’s when the issue occurs X_X
It’s literally been 3 days, how is Roblox not fixing this issue already?..
this issue has been happening to me as well, kept resetting mygraphics settings, font settings color settings for selection, although my studio code color settings weren’t reset
it’s getting annoying
I can confirm the settings seem to reset after opening the Roblox client. Full repro steps (works on my end, I haven’t tested extensively):
- Open Studio, change some settings eg. custom icons or editor theme
- Close Studio completely
- Open any game in the Roblox client
- Close Roblox client
- Open Studio, and the settings should be reset

Also happening to me. It’s really really annoying since it severely disrupts workflow and just demotivates you everytime you want to work on your game.
PLEASE notice this post already and fix this issue I’m BEGGING YOU!!! 
thought it was just me, very annoying
I knew it was a bug after I wiped out the whole RobloxStudio registry.
I literally had to reconfigure Studio all over again and it’s FRUSTRATING that you just come back to Studio the next day only to find out it still resets your settings.
In the meantime while this bug isn’t patched; I’ve made 2 simple batch scripts that you can use to load / save your studio backups easily.
Load backup script
@echo off
cd C:\Users\[user]\AppData\Local\Roblox
echo [Load Settings Backup Command]
choice /c yn /m "Are you sure you want to overwrite the current settings? If a backup exists, it will be loaded."
if %ERRORLEVEL% equ 1 goto yes
if %ERRORLEVEL% equ 2 goto no
:yes
echo Attempting to load backup.
copy GlobalSettings_13.bak GlobalSettings_13.xml
pause
:no
exit
Save backup script
@echo off
cd C:\Users\[user]\AppData\Local\Roblox
echo [Save Settings Backup Command]
choice /c yn /m "Are you sure you want to save the settings backup? This action will overwrite any existing backup."
if %ERRORLEVEL% equ 1 goto yes
if %ERRORLEVEL% equ 2 goto no
:yes
echo Attempting to save backup.
copy GlobalSettings_13.xml GlobalSettings_13.bak
pause
:no
exit
Replace [user] with your filename username
Just make a .bat / .cmd file and paste these commands on said files’s content using a tool like Notepad.
So then next time you want to load studio it will just take 1 click and a Y to load / save backups.
(i had made this for myself because i am NOT doing the full process just to use studio normally.)

Potential fix: Go to %localappdata% → Find and open Roblox folder → Find and edit properties of a file named “GlobalSettings_13” → Set to read only.
Note: This method works after you have locked in your settings since the file won’t be editable, making any changes invalid until u change it back to previous properties.
I’ve tested @DaDude_89 's recreation method and my settings didnt seem to reset aside from Script Editor zoom.

Absolutely astonishing that zero staff have replied to an issue which I consider has affected myself and pretty much everyone I know and all the people in this thread
There’s definitely attention, some staff have been closing several duplicates and linking them to this topic. Still a shame that nobody replies with at least a clarification or update.
