Why do my studio settings keep getting reset?

If I set my script editor colors to a darker scheme, the advanced objects layout to horizontal, script directory, etc and restart studio, everything is at the default setting again.

I used to have that problem and it was a constant annoyance. Good news is that you can set all of those settings through a plugin and they’ll work fine, which is what I do now.

Strangely enough, I’ve only changed my script editor theme and it’s stayed the same for about a year.

I’m running Windows 7 Professional x64 SP1.

This is the first time I’ve had this problem :frowning:

Since we’re both using the same OS and version, I assume it might be something with the registry. I’m going to play around with it and see what I can dig up.

Edit: Odd – it stopped resetting.

Mine has always reset - I assumed the settings just didn’t save.

Massive necro bump. But this is still an issue for me, does anyone have a fix or am I just unlucky that it hasn’t magically fixed itself in 5 years?

I’ve been searching through similar threads and it seems the only manual fix is to save all your settings via a plugin, I’ll probably end up doing that. But just in case someone has another fix I thought I’d post something.

Specs:

Windows 10 Home 64bit Version: 1607

version-dd328471eefc49bb

I can post logs if needed.

What changes have you made to your settings? ie: What is different from the defaults?

All my settings are default because they don’t save. But when I change settings it’s most frequently the editgraphicslevel, script editor colours and selection box colours.

Is this still happening to you?

Yeah, if you want I can message you my studio files?
Let me know if there’s any other info you need in the message, unless you think it would be better used if it was public information on this topic.

So, if you change the graphics level, close Studio, and re-open Studio, the graphics level is reset? Or does this only happen some of the time?

Does this happen if you change your settings one at a time instead of all at once?
