I have been running LT 2017 for months now and every time I start a session, I get the dialog box in the lower right corner that says "A system variable has changed". There is a link that if you click it, opens up the System Variable Monitor. Without exception, its always the MIRRTEXT variable that is being reported as having changed when I have never done so. Its to the point that it is distracting as it pops up on every new session of LT.
I searched the knowledge base but there isn't anything that is reporting how to fix it. In addition, Autodesk apparently doesn't have a technical support staff on call or chat as I could find no way to contact them to report this as a bug.
If anyone out there knows how to bring this to the attention of someone at Autodesk, I would appreciate an assist.
Thanks
Jim

Turn off SYSMONITOR perhaps if you cannot remove that entry from it?
What setting do you prefer? 0?

You get that from your subscription portal
Or as described in the post to zipped by in your anxiety to post
Hi @jcheiser,
I can help with logging the defect for you. I can also look into the problem a little further.
I just need some additional information for you.
I'll try to monitor my AutoCAD LT 2017 today to see if I am able to reproduce your issue and circle back to you with any updates or suggestions.
I am having the same problem with MIRRTEXT changing itself; running AutoCAD 2016 on Windows 7 professional. Is there a service pack that should be installed? (my machine has SP 1)
Let me look into this to see if I can recreate the issue on my side. I believe you are up to date with the service packs.
Is this a fairly new issue or something that has been ongoing?
It would help with troubleshooting your case if you could provide the file? You can email it to me directly or ZIP it up and add it to this thread.
Would you be able to create a screencast video of the issue?
Thanks in advance for your extra efforts.
Following up on your thread, were you able to find a solution? Or a workaround?
Did any of the posts in the thread help with your issue?
Please post back in the thread if you are still having an issue with AutoCAD or Select Accept as Solution for the post’s that helped.
Thanks for your time.
To add you can also try the following;
Choose Click To View Change, click the status bar icon , or enter SYSVARMONITOR at the command line to open the System Variable Monitor dialog box. Review the changes and do one or more of the following:

Hi Patty,
Thanks for coming back to the thread. If you could, please provide a drawing sample file.
I haven't seen a lot of other user's experience this issue. If you don't mind adding a drawing I can try a run it through some testing and see if I'm able to recreate the same issue.
Let me know if you have any other questions.
FWIW, I have the same thing, I am to the point of ignoring it until it matters - I don't mirror a lot of text.
Happened on Windows 7 with 2017lt, and now I have upgraded to Windows 10 and 2018lt. Still there.
Hello, i am having trouble with this issue as well. I have tried changing the system variable once the dialog box pops up but once a new drawing is opened or created the system variable resets back to what it was. I have tried searching for it many times with no solution.
