"Save as Default" Not saving as default. Restart not saving changes

I have looked and I can't seem to find the answer to this. I make a setting and go to Tools>Save Settings as Default and When I restart Corel I get the default default not the new settings I have entered. Really frustrated because all I find about this issue is telling me to do what I've already done. What am I missing?  Thank you for any help you guys can give.
