ichimitch Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 (edited) Every time I open Launchbox the side bar goes back to sorting by 'Platform Category'. I don't like this 😑 How can I either: Set LB to remember how I chose to sort things OR Change the default from 'Platform Category' to something other Thanks Edited November 28, 2023 by ichimitch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C-Beats Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 Sidebar should save what ever value it was in when you close LaunchBox. Sounds like you may have something either killing the LB process before the save function occurs, or locking the file making it impossible for us to save to disk. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ichimitch Posted November 28, 2023 Author Share Posted November 28, 2023 Went to properties on the executable and set to always run as administrator. Now the preference is saving/persistent 🤷♂️ Windows 11 Pro 21H2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will say running as admin can cause other problems related to relative pathing though down the line so I'd suggest moving your install to another location without the permission issues.

The mini-PC I recently purchased came preinstalled with Windows 11. It's my first time using it but since I didn't have to install it myself, I thought I'd give it a go. Verdict: I loathe it... I've since installed Windows 10 LTSC. Got rid of my Win 11 problem and its permissions problem at the same time. I know that support for Windows 10 is running short... But I'll cross that bridge when I get to it. Win 11 is an abomination. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
