I know this is a 4 year old thread, but I could find no other mention of this.
I have same problem
Inventor 2014 - fresh installed by IT.
Will not save any preferences. Cant even turn off the spash screen.
I tried running with admin privieldges - no luck
I looked into the registry but could not find any settings that looked like they controlled options.
I looked in:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Autodesk\Inventor\RegistryVersion18.0\System\Preferences
Which subfolder of this should there be to hold the options?
RELATED issue - My install was missing the ColorSchemes entry.
I found the color schemes and manually inserted in registry.
I have a network liscense - shared
Inventor saves its settings while exiting. If the process terminates unexpectedly (i.e., crashes), the settings might not be saved correctly.
Sometimes an incompatible add-in can cause instability. Consider using the Add-In Manager to disable all add-ins, then restart Inventor, and finally exit Inventor. If the settings are saved successfully, try re-enabling the add-ins a few at a time until you narrow down which one is affecting the Inventor shutdown behavior.
Good luck!
Thanks for the quick response.
this is a new install - I have no add-ins.
The options settings changes should save to registry when I press APPLY, at least accoridng to the help documentation
I have been triying over and over and it consistently will not remember option settings.
If I knew what registry keys these were saved in, perhaps I could create these keys and it would work.
Until then I am stuck with loading from configuration file every time I launch inventor
