Your profile settings not saved might cause this issue.

Check in safe mode if its working fine , then its your addon making this issue. Check the addon update or remove.


If same profile in safemode, Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.

If the new profile works then you can transfer files from a previously used profile to the new profile, but be cautious not to copy corrupted files to avoid carrying over the problem
