Settings change every time I close and reopen Cura

Posted · Settings change every time I close and reopen Cura

Every time I close Cura and reopen it wall thickness, Z seam alignment, seam corner preference, top/bottom thickness, infill density and pattern, and adhesion are all changed. I assume they are changing to the default settings. This is version 5.9.0 installed in November 2024 on Windows 11. I haven't upgraded the program recently or changed printers or anything like that. It was working fine until yesterday and now it isn't. What can cause this to happen? Thank you

    • Solar magnetic storms
    • Winning the digital lottery of random drive corruption happening the exact same way multiple times
    • Wizards
    • For whatever reason the Cura configuration file can't be written (unlikely, but possible)
      • Set as read only
      • Windows messing up security privileges on the file
      • Underpants gnomes installing a script to instantly revert any changes
    • For some stupid reason Windows restores the Cura configuration file from a previous backup (unlikely, but I did say "stupid" for a reason)
    • Antivirus or some other program trying and failing to save you from yourself
    • Cura configuration folder for 5.9 whisked away by ransomware, demanding one bitcoin in payment (also known as antivirus trying and failing to save you from bad things) so it's regenerated from the previous version at every startup.

    If it happens again, open and close it to make it reset a couple of times, then go to Help > Show Configuration Folder and post the cura.log file that's in there to see if it has anything good to say.
