Cannot save settings on new PC

New PC built and now I cannot save some of my settings.
For instance I've been trying to turn on Automatic Quest Tracking but every time I restart the game it's OFF again.
I've checked folder permissions. I don't think any of the folders or files are read-only but in Windows 11 I'm unsure what a blue mark with a - is (vs a blue mark with a checkmark). I cannot get rid of the blue mark. Every single folder only this PC so far has that blue mark with - so I think that's just a default icon.
I've deleted UserSettings.txt and had the game create a new one. Still cannot save settings like Automatic Quest Tracking. I can edit that file no problem though.
I've used NVIDIA GeForce Experience to optimize the game and it changes and saves those settings just fine.
It's not a read-only problem. It's something else. This is a brand new installation on a PC that's just a few days old. Game itself runs flawlessly except for some settings not saving from in game.

✭✭Hmm just now I went in game to change a setting that GeForce Experience changed. I changed the Maximum Particle Systems slider to some random value instead of max (max is what GeForce Experience changed it to).
Then I exited the game and relaunched. The setting stayed where I changed it to. So that setting at least saves.
OK it was an addon causing the issue. I installed one called Synced Account Settings so I can copy my main character's settings to my new arcanist (why is this not a standard feature? Why do we need an addon to do it?). Disabling the addon allows me to save my settings like normal.
Mods, feel free to either delete this thread or keep it up just in case someone else runs into the issue so they can see the solution. Up to you.Edited by Holycannoli on July 4, 2023 1:17PM0 -
