Annoying problem about app custom settings being discarded at app shutdown

Hello, this is my first post in this forum. As stated in the topic title, the last three update (as far as i can remeber, at least!) came with a potentially nasty behaviour. Anytime i shutdown the app, whatever custom setting i've inputted in that session goes dumped. Neither administrator run nor app (or even OS!) reinstall on either system and non-system folders solved the problem. I'm currently using v7.39.2x64 with just ffdshow_rev4531_20140628_x64 codecs installed (video related) on a Win10 1909 x64 machine (which worked more or less flawless in previous releases). Please, help me.

What mode for data store you select in installer? Try use "All usere" mode

Thank you for your reply. My standard selection for data store is "Save in app Folder" or similar. Anyway reinstalling and selecting as data store behaviour the "All user" option you seggested in your reply, seems to have solved the issue. Thank you for the help.

"Save in app Folder" good is you install ProgDVB not in Program files or other system folder without write access.

So that's the issue. Where i normally save recurring apps in "Data" disk (non system disk), i'm lately storing my apps in C: (system disk) just to avoid problems, which instead brought more of them, fitting perfectly in the abnormal behaviour of latest windows OS. Solved anyway, thanks.
