SystemInformer no longer remembers sort order #2243

Open SanderBouwhuis opened 5 days ago

SanderBouwhuis commented 5 days ago

Brief description of your issue

I updated to the latest version, and now every time Windows restarts, SystemInformer forgets the sorting order. I always want the name column to be ungrouped, and the list sorted by CPU usage and the update interval to be 2 seconds. None of these settings are remembered anymore.

Steps to reproduce (optional)

Set the setting how you like them. Restart Windows. Settings are forgotten

Expected behavior (optional)

The settings should not be forgotten

Actual behavior (optional)

The settings are forgotten

Environment (optional)

SystemInformer v3.0.7660
Windows 10 PRO x64

Switch to really latest version 3.1.24290.0 (d5ce6c78) in canary channel (help->about) and look if it still has the issue.

If the settings are not saving when your reboot or shutdown it's because the application was terminated before saving settings.

This is why you don't configure hidden Windows settings to automatically terminate applications during shutdown (AutoEndTasks) or applications can't save settings.

@dmex I don't understand what you mean. I need to configure hidden Windows settings?!? It used to work, so please tell me which hidden Windows settings I need to change.

I tried the following:

  1. Change the settings
  2. Quit SI through the icon tray
  3. Start SI again

The settings are still not saved.
