March 16, 20224 yr Hi i decided to reinstall msfs after not using it for six months did a fresh install. started it up got the opening screen asking what setting i wanted and did all that saved it. So i went and did some flying and finish shut the sim down. came back later and i got the opening screen again asking me what setting i wanted to us also it didn't my joystick settings. i have uninstalled it and reinstalled it's still the same. is there a fix for this?
March 16, 20224 yr Commercial Member Yes, strange but if I put auto pilot or open the weather window and then close them the next time I go into the sim they are open.

March 16, 20224 yr Make sure your user.cfg file isnt set to read only. Windows explorer search will find this file for you. FAA: ATP-ME, 737 CA, enough time in the 757/767 to be dangerous 🤠 Matt Kubanda, 7950X3D, 64GB RAM, RTX 5090@4k, MSFS 2024
June 4, 20223 yr Please someone help I'm having this issue now, MSFS fresh install (recently went to windows 11) no matter what I do setting will not save I've set all package files to not be read only including doing usercfg etc manually but every time the sim loads it makes me go through the new user wizard on every load and none of the settings are remembered. I even deleted all cfg files to try starting a fresh with no luck please help.
June 4, 20223 yr Try Xbox app, files / fix. I had this problem too. The Xbox app downloaded 1.4G or 2.0G file and it did reset cloud connection. Your settings are most likely stored in the cloud too. This should solve your settings problem.

I too tried the "permissions" on the user.cfg, and it didn't fix it for me either. Zendesk advised me to uninstall MSFS, manually delete a couple of left over files in the AppData folder (basically delete every reference to MSFS on my PC) and then reinstall. That process took a full day - but did work. On reinstall, my settings were then saved after the first and subsequent session/ Bill 😎FS2024 • Currently in 'GA mode' : A2A Comanche 2024 & Aerostar • Black Square C208, Bonanzas, Barons, TBM850, Dukes • COWS DA40 & DA42 • FSW Legacy, C24R Sierra & C414 • Echo Falco F8L • FFX HJET, Visionjet and P180 2024 • Got Friends A32 Vixxen • FSReborn Sirius TL3000, Sting S4 and Piper M500 • Flyboy Rans S6S • Skyward DA50RG • SWS Zenith CH701, RV-8, RV-10, RV-14, PC12 • Milviz C310R • Air Foil Labs Bristell B23 TrackIR • BeyondATC • PMS GTN Payware • RealTurb • Axis & Ohs • FS Realistic Pro9800X3D • RTX 3080 • 64GB DDR5-6000NPPL licence holder in the UK

August 27, 20223 yr For those that still cant get FS2020 to save settings here is a fix I found (see link). It started because I decided I was going to dedicate another PC to FS 2020 but retain the game on my original PC. After the install and subsequent reinstalls I had the same issue, forums were pointing me the "Gaming Services" needing updates etc. Microsoft have now changed the control/install etc from "windows store" to the xbox app and is not directly a "Gaming Services" issue. Other tricks were to add Keys to Regedit. The issue was the xbox.app, for whatever reason only known to Microsoft some of the xbox.app "Services" were turned off not allowing "Gaming Services" to download your settings from the cloud hense having to set everything up every time you started FS2020. A week later I stumbled onto this little gem and all is now running on both machines ....
