Default Reaper loses ALL settings everytime I close it

Whenever I restart Reaper (from reboot or from just closing and reopening) all my settings are gone. This includes audio settings, but also VST plugin folders, whether it should check for updates, show splash etc. Once I reconfigure everything it runs as normal, but you can imagine reconfiguring reaper every single time (every two hours) gets annoying really fast.

Any idea? I tried versions from 4.00 to 5.23

Windows? Mac? Linux? Versions?

Permissions issue with the REAPER folder (non-standard installation folder?) sounds probable, but use export/import for preferences until you get it sorted.

Smart thing to do is download a fresh reaper install and check the "Portable Install" checkbox when you run the installer.
This creates a fresh clean install of reaper without any modifications you may have made, either deliberately or inadvertantly, to your Reaper isntall that is playing up.

it was a permissions problem. Windows 10 update apparently borked my permissions. I had to use eventviewer to reset the permissions to something manageable (the only method that works, seriously I lost a good head of hair on this problem).
