Like you were told in the discord, this is probably due to you not having write privileges on your folder or HDD. Launchbox actually writes the files when you close Launchbox, so if its not saving the imported system its because it couldnt write the file as windows was not allowing it.

i checked and i do

in \LaunchBox\Data\Platforms do you have a file "named NEC TurboGrafx-16 - Copy.xml"

As mentioned in the post by Seaview59 make sure you do not have any other platfom xml files in your \Data\Platforms folder. If you have a platform xml with the platforms name it in (no matter what else it is called) LB will try to read it. So if you have "NEC TurboGrafx-16.xml" and something like "NEC TurboGraf-16_Backup.xaml" that will confuse LB. There should only ever be one file per platform regardless of name.
