I am having the same problem.
Basically the program isn’t saving any customizations I make to it through restarts.
For example, when the “getting started” window appears at startup, I check the box to not show it again, but every time I restart the program the “getting started” window appears. Also, when I check the “automatically start host online/offlice status check on startup” box, it is unchecked once I restart the program.
It is like wherever these options are saved it “read only” and the settings changes that I make aren’t “sticking”.
