Can't create new global variable set on win10

[jamesson]

I can't seem to get a clone or creation of a new set of global variables to stick. When I reopen the global variable editor the only thing left seems to be the default set, not anything I created. I tried both the portable zipfile and the installer, several times.

Platform: win10 x64 enterprise v1809

CodeBlocks v17.12

What version are you using?
Are you able to close codeblocks and any settings to be preserved?

[jamesson]

I updated my question to list my version. I don't have enough experience to see which settings are saved and which are not. Can you recommend a test?

[oBFusCATed]

Just a random setting in Settings -> Environment or Editor. All of them should be saved in a single file.

Also do you see the problem in a single session or between sessions?

[jamesson]

Yes, everything. Between sessions.

[oBFusCATed]

Vague ambiguous comments doesn't help.

[jamesson]

 Sorry, I thought I was being concise. Nothing in settings is stored, and the issue persists between sessions.

Are you able to close codeblocks without a crash or hang (check task manager if there is still codeblocks.exe after you close it)?

[stahta01]

Try it without opening any projects; I once had closing projects be what was causing crashes.

Edit: This was several years back.

I can't seem to replicate after restart. Which file are all these settings stored in? Could I have locked access to it somehow?

[oBFusCATed]

Somewhere in %AppData%/CodeBlocks/default.conf but I'm not really sure which one it is in these new versions of windows.
