Windows 10 system.

Forgot to "close" ArtRage 5 when I shut down the Pc. After a restart ArtRage opened with the recovery option. Lost my entire docking set-up as well as my default canvas settings.

This has happened twice and is VERY inconvenient to set everything up again. It makes no sense that something like a transitory shut-down or crash can change permanent set-ups, which I would assume are saved somewhere "safe".


How can these settings can change just because of an unexpected shut-down... what is going on? Is there a work around?
