"Could not save config file..." Error
oBFusCATed:
It is getting confusing. It is working, but it is not working. Please try to be a bit more clear!

Sure, I will try to be more clear. Could you please read the first error message in this forum by 'spflanze'? I am getting the same errors he/she had (see below). I am asking how can I remove these error messages.
"Whenever I close CodeBlocks 16.01 I get two error message windows. Their messages are:
Quote
Unable to open personal dictionary file
Could not save config file..."

Yes, I've read the topic from the start. I've did it again and it is still confusing what is not working.
I guess there are multiple things broken.
Like:
1. when using cblauncher.exe - you're getting error messages and settings aren't saved
2. when using codeblocks.exe - your compilation fails
Have I understood everything you correctly?
What version are you using? What OS?
What is the content of your AppData*/CodeBlocks folder? Do you have some xml files in a compiler subfolder?
I'm not a user of cblauncher, so I cannot help much, but as a start it might help if you state the exact command you're using.

Hi there,
- Windows 10
- CodeBlocks version 17.12
Users/sgare/AppData/Roaming/CodeBlocks folder has the following files (see attachment)--no XML files.
To start CB, I run CbLauncher.exe from the Program Files (x86) > CodeBlocks folder
Thanks!

I'm getting the same error but I think I can provide more context details. I am running CB on Win 10 Home and use CB Launcher.
If I open Watches and dock it then the perspective has changed and on exiting CB Im asked if I want to save the new perspective. The problem arises because the default.conf is located in C:\Program Files (x86)\CodeBlocks\AppData\codeblocks.
If I Launch as Administrator then the config is saved because I have sufficient rights as admin to save in C:\Program Files (x86).
So I wonder if CB has the default location foe AppData in an unusual / inappropriate location. Often AppData on Win is c:\Users\[user account]\AppData.
