Dreamweaver cs6 not remembering FTP details

  • November 9, 2020

With the October Windows 10 update I now find that Dreamweaver CS6 is not remembering my FTP account name and password. I can see there are entries in the registry editor but for some reason CS6 is not recovering them.

I can type them in each time or even delete the old entry and import it again, but it never remembers the details when the computer is switched off. It does remember the details if the computer is left switched on or even put into standby mode.

I think this might be a windows 10 issue but I don't know where or what permissions to set.

Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated.

    1. Did you restart your computer?

     

    2. Did you try restoring DW Preferences?

    3. Do you have the last CS6 updates from 2012?

    Thanks Nancy, yes the reset preferences solved the problem. Many thanks.

    Yes I know something may break in due course but fortunately Windows 10 can sometimes run things in compatibility mode.

    When it does break I'll swap to a text editor.
