Hello all,

I think this issue has been around for some time now. I'm not able to reproduce it on demand nor to understand a pattern, but I've had to re-set the settings in qbittorrent like 10 times now.

Sometimes when I reboot this machine I use "shutdown /r /t 1". Not sure if this helps.
It is a windows x64 8.1

No idea where to start looking..

The current v3.2.0 has more robust settings saving.
Plus expect this to fully get resolved after #1984 gets closed.
In the meantime manually exit the app before shutting down and wait for it to disappear from the process list.
