Default Text tools no longer asking to change

I've run into a few problems were windows updates are causing me issues. It isn't just corel, it is several programs. For example, there was an update on the 17th that if I install it, I can't view emails, open word documents or open new or existing corel draw files.

So I've figured out that.

and everything is working normal again.

Except...

And here is my actual problem:

When I change the text took to a new font or new size, it used to ask me if I wanted to save that as a new default. It doesn't do that anymore. It changes BOTH artistic and paragraph text defaults. No prompt.

Any idea what's going on?

The most current windows update I'm having a problem with is http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2952664 I'm trying to limp along until I have time to build a new system all together and move everything to a new workstation.
