After creating a project, I was able to Build it an create an EXE. Upon saving it, closing C::B and then coming back it later, I tried to Rebuild it. I immediately got an error. Upon searching the net, I found some people talked about making sure the Toolchain Executables was set up properly. I also saw someone mentioned they renamed a file then renamed it back and it worked OK. In my case, I renamed gfortran.exe to gfortranb.exe. Then I renamed it back and it Built just fine. The next time this error came up, I simply went into the Toolchain Executuables menu (did not change anything) and I was able to Rebuild.
So my guess is that somehow it "forgot" what was in Toolchain Executables by going into this menu it forces an update? I had subconsciously just used this workaround (it happened maybe 5 times - not sure if it was random). But BlueHazzard is helping me with something and seemed to run into an issue that I suspect is related this this behavior. I might be able to create a video of it or something...provided the behavior is consistent.

This is likely related to auto compiler detection.
But, since the CB devs refused my suggestion of adding an option to disable this it would be had to prove or disprove.

Are you able to save any settings? If you have a working config it should not break the next time you start C::B.
-
Exactly what should be saved? I see "Save Project", "Save Workspace", "Save Everything". Perhaps that I why I see this only sometimes...maybe I was saving something the times when I did not have this issue.

default.conf in the AppData. It is saved at exit automatically if there is no crash.

It looks like default.conf file was updated. I will pay closer to attention the next time it happens and see if I can isolate the behavior.
