Animate resetting preferences and corrupting files

I've been using this program constantly for four years now, and only recently have I actually had to deal with corrupted files. At first I thought it may have something to do with the fact that my laptop has a terrible battery, so unplugging it immediately kills it. But this issue comes up even if I first close Animate and wait a moment to let the close process. And not only does it corrupt files, but it also resets all of my preferences which I have to adjust back every time. Keyboard shortcuts, workspace, and all. This has happened several times in the last month out of nowhere. I am using 2024 edition, and debating whether just switching back to 2023 will make any difference for now.

Also as a side note sometimes transforming objects will ruin them? I always use the fluid brush, and even with lock fill turned off, transforming something made with that tool will change its color or fill the art with a different color when there wasn't one already. Also an issue that came up at the same time.
