Problem with Preference file

It seems like my Preferences file gets corrupted just about every time I logoff/login, so, for example, my scrubby zoom won't work until I delete/reset the file. I'm thinking I can go to Properties and set the file to read-only, i.e., lock the file. Problem is, I can't find it. I'm running Photoshop CC 2018 on Windows 10 64x. In the folder Adobe Photoshop CC 2018 Settings, I'm expecting to find Adobe Photoshop CC 2018 Prefs.psp. I do find several .psp files, including UIPrefs.psp, but no general Photoshop preferences file. Can anyone advise me on this problem?

On my Windows 10 PC it is in :

However - I doubt setting files to read only will be the answer. Photoshop writes preferences on closing, so it sounds like yours is not closing down correctly
