P: Camera Raw "Settings" resetting with each update

[michelegranja]

I apologize if this has been asked before but it's tough wording to find in search and I may not even be using the right terms. 

So anyway, with the last handful of updates, all my "interface/layout" settings in Camera Raw have been resetting on my Silicon MacBook (but NOT on my Intel iMac). It all goes back to default... favorites are gone (profiles AND presets), vertical is horizontal again, it's back to light gray, custom panel order is reset... seems trivial (and is certainly less of a hassle than all the issue the program was putting me through a couple years back) but it is a huge time-suck and I can't figure out why it is happening on one and not the other... which also makes me feel like there may be a fix. Anyone have any insight?

BOTH MACHINES : Version 17.5.0.2318

MACHINE WITH ISSUE : 2024 MacBook Air, 15-inch, M3, 16 GB, Sequoia 15.6.1

MACHINE NOT HAVING ISSUE : 2020 Retina 5K iMac, 27-inch, 3.6 GHz 10-Core Intel Core i9, AMD Radeon Pro 5700 8 GB, 32 GB 2667 MHz DDR4, Sequoia 15.6.1

While getting tired of this issue, as it happened more than 10 times in the last weeks, I ended here after searching for the problem. It's very frustrating.

So I read new log files are no longer needed? But is there a solution to this issue? It's so time-consuming, resetting Camera Raw preferences Especially selecting my favourite presets over and over again, as only these can be accessed directly in Bridge. 

Happens on Windows 11 machine, Asus Studiobook Pro with Ryzen 9-series processor, when opening ACR from Bridge.
