Project Settings -- Persistence

Hi,

I have just started with Premiere Elements 2022 on a Windows 11 PC.

Every time I open a project, I have to redo a setting that is not carried over from the previous session:  uncheck the display of the Audio Tracks.  I am working with a video film that has no sound and it's easier to work with when the audio tracks are not displayed.

Am I missing something?  Can the project be opened with this setting in whatever state it was in when the project was last closed? 

This is not a "biggee," but making the setting persistent would be nice to have.
