Hey all,
I dual boot for testing sake; Windows 8.1 (not preview version) and Windows 7 on the other. Having Inventor running on both works pretty good, except in Win 8.1 it NEVER retains my settings (file imported from the options menu).
Every time I start up I get the startup popup, which I ALWAYS uncheck 'show at startup' (or whatever it says) and then proceed to the options to import my ApplicationsOptions.xml...again..and again and again.
It's getting frusterating and I am wondering if anyone else is having this issue?
tks!

Inventor version?
Have you installed all applicable service packs?
Hi,
Did you have a try to uncheck the Show Welcome Screen on Startup option after you imported your xml, and then click the Apply button to see the welcome dialog still pops up or not?
Hello,
I think the focus is being lost on the problem at hand. I was just using the startup screen to make the point that the options are not being held after a restart of Inventor.
When I import my AppOpts.xml, ALL my settings are reset to default (I was using the startup screen as a reference, but in reality it is icon colors, file locations, other defaults I have changed...). So unfortunatly the problem isnt limited to that screen or I wouldnt say anything. It is that my imported options are not sticking between restarts of the program.
Tks for the input thus far 🙂
I believe thats indicative of improper user/registry permissions..
Are you an admin on your machine?
Can you login as an admin and do the settings stick then?
ADKS is releasing different DLL's for Win 8.1 which seem to address the problems with Win8.1
They should be released for general distribution shortly. If you seach this forum you will find a post from a ADSK employee relating to this issue.

For 2012/2013 only it seems though.
Hello All,
Ok, so I am an admin (network and local). I tried the 'Run as Admin' anyways...same result after loading AppOps and restarting. Was really hoping it would be that simple.
In the meantime I have emailed Autodesk about it. My Inventor is useable, but having to reload setting upon every startup is time lost (all be it a couple minutes, but still...) and then re-load the current project.
At any rate, I would love more suggestions if anyone has, but otherwise I will continue on. 🙂
Tks all!
I'm sure the patches for 2014 will be along shortly as well.
Hey all,
I spoke with Chris Mitchell from Autodesk and he pointed me to this link which solved my issue.
Hope it helps someone else 🙂
Thanks for all the input!
