Keep losing Right Click Customization

[Anonymous]

After going to options, user preferences, windows standard behavior, I checked "shortcut menus in drawing area" then click on right click customization and changed all of them to "repeat last command" and "enter".  I click apply & close and when the window closes, the "shortcut menus in drawing area" loses it's check and none of my settings stay.   And you can't set click of right click customization unless the shortcut menus in drawing area is checked. It appears to be the only place I'm having this trouble but it's a biggie when you consider how many times I would be right clicking to enter/repeat last command and seeing that crazy shortcut menu pop up.  UGH!

I am working with Lt 2020 and it will not hold any of my right click customization options, I've read through this feed from 2016 and tried all of the suggestions, nothing helps.  Yes, the program is update to date with the 2020.1 update installed - any other suggestions?  Attached is a screen shot of how I would like my customization to appear, but when I click apply & close they disappear

You don't have right-clicking for <enter> turned on

 

Also...

SHORTCUTMENU is the system variable that controls that section of OPTIONS: how about adding your desired setting for that variable to SYSVARMONITOR command's watch list and it will tell you exactly when that changed, it might shed a light on what might need to be fixed in our setup.

It doesn't matter if I check the time sensitive right click, it still won't hold the settings for any length of time, as soon as I click apply and close any of the selections are gone.  I could add to the sysvarmonitor as you suggest, do you know which system variable I should be watching for? I don't want the shortcut menu every time I right click

SHORTCUTMENU is the system variable

My Acad froze and I had to exit via Task Manager.  When I went back in my right-click menus were no longer available.  Did my Google search and tried many things.  Finally saw this and tried SYSVARMONITOR and found out my PICKFIRST setvar was out of whack.  I re-set it to 1, and got my right-click menus back immediately.  Go figure.

Why would a freeze re-set PICKFIRST?  Beats me.  But that's an option for some to try, I suppose.
