@DimMan88 Why do you think your user name causes the problem? How do you start Stella?

BTW: Stella is saving its settings in an SQL-Database since 6.5.

I start Stella as Admin, also as normal start.

I tell that might be a non-ascii issue because the config file is in the path: AppData folder,, > roaming >stella.... which includes my usename.

Tried different versions after v6.4, some started but they couldnt save the settings. The latest version, doesn't start at all.
