Editor acting weird regarding viewports

Post by TheDane »

Hi, I was firing up Editor from a fresh install, changed the viewports to my favorite (floating, one window only). so it looks like this:
ED_custom.png
But every time I close Editor it returns to default:
ED_default.png
I had ED running on an old win7 laptop where the settings where kept customized each time I launched it, now I'm on win10, is this a windows issue? I've tried copy/paste all files related to Editor from my win7 install to my win10 install, but then it's just the same, everytime I open it, it is back to default settings - annoying! Anyone had this issue and where able to fix it?

Unreal Editor can't write to ini in Windows 8 or higher.
You have to manually edit the Editor.ini file, and probably keep it read-only.
