Where are keyboard shortcuts saved/loaded from?

Hello

 

With no known cause to me, a while ago my keyboard shortcuts stopped saving after modifying them. The only suggestion I could find is to run Max in administrator mode but this doesn't help at all. 

I've been digging through the Max files in the install location (In Program Files), the documents (Documents/3ds max) and in appdata (Local folder).

 

I have no clue which one of these file has any effect on what Max decides to load the shortcuts from, I've been deleting various .kbdx files in hopes I can pinpoint what is causing this. At first deleting the kbdx's in the program files location fixed it but also reset my saved shortcuts, I placed the kbdx's back and now I have my old shortcuts but again new ones don't save and deleting any kbdx's again no longer fixes it.

 

I'd reinstall Max if I could, but I don't want to have all my shortcuts and layouts reset. Using Max 2016, any help appreciated.

On top of this my Gamma/LUT correction isn't saving either, could be all of Max not just shortcuts.

The issue was solved by changing permissions of the 3ds max folder in /Program Files to allow permission to all users. Max's hotkeys wouldn't save even if I ran it as administrator, so I just set permissions for every user already in the list to allow.
