@Rlkcpo
so did you upgrade QtCreator then? -
Upgrade it? No its this not the latest version? I used the website and the online installer. Is there an updated version of Qt Creator beyond 4.5.0?
-
@Rlkcpo
Latest version is 5.10. I myself use the latest release of version 5.9, i.e. 5.9.4 -
Correct the latest version of the Qt framework is 5.10(which I have)- Im talking about Qt Creator (the IDE)

@Rlkcpo said in settings not being saved between sessions:
Is there an updated version of Qt Creator beyond 4.5.0?
no, 4.5.0 is the latest.
I was rather asking if you upgraded to version 4.5.0 and created your projects with a different version of QtCreator. -
No I am evaluating Qt right now so everything I have is new as of 2 days ago. No other versions of Qt are installed or have been installed on this machine.

@Rlkcpo
anyways, the errorNo .user settings file created by this instance of Qt Creator was found.
suggests differently.What are the contents of the first few lines of your project's .pro.user file.
The .pro.user file should begin with something like:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE QtCreatorProject> <!-- Written by QtCreator 4.5.0, 2018-01-26T09:52:02. --> <qtcreator> <data> <variable>EnvironmentId</variable> <value type="QByteArray">{3984cf51-.....-4598d1289b66}</value> </data> ....

Update*
I have uninstalled, reinstalled, and am still seeing the same problems. Does the maintenance tool not completely remove the program?
-
So it turns out the problem files were located in the ~/.config directory. I deleted everything Qt related in that directory, did a clean reinstall and the problem vanished.
