It's all about the Software

I found the problem - Avast Antivirus! I didn't have the screenshot problem until recently, maybe the past year or so but I found by disabling Avast for 10 minutes the screenshot function works again. I first noticed all my folders are marked read-only and that's not really a problem if the contents are not affected. After much Googling trying to figure out how to turn this "feature" off the only useful advise found is to put the SDR Console path and C:\Users\Name\Pictures\SDR-RADIO.com (V3) in the Exceptions list and make sure it is listed in "ALLOWED APP" cagegory.

Now to see if this is the reason SDRSharp is not saving/retrieving the settings.
