I assume, perhaps incorrectly, that when I change settings within WD such as station type, lat, long, elevation, etc, that when I close those screen boxes that somewhere, WD saves the most recent settings.
I am running the most recent version Brian released, and am on a Win 10 machine which I updated all the motherboard firmware, device drivers (especially the video drivers which seem to be a real gremlin generator on other installs) and went through having my com port set correctly, the station type an RM Young (which had worked on an older computer for years) and adjusted lat, long, elevation, and such.
All was running well last night, and this noon I looked at the screen it showed an odd temperature and no solar radiation, despite the RM Young showing a value. I went to the two places to enter lat and long and one was blank, the other correct. I went to com port which was right (and there were some correct data points being imported) and then the station, only to find the radio button for RM young being blank. There was NO station selected at all. Choosing RM young showed immediate correct data (temp and solar values) even before I exited the station selection box.
With all running fine now (and Win 10 did NOT do an update and restart during the night) I would like to make sure that when a Win 10 update happens or the computer has to be shut down for awhile, that all those values are brought back in from having been saved.
Is there a command in the many offered that I can tell it to do so that all is saved? Should I make like I’m going to do a move to another computer, but just restart then?
Thanks for any insight.

PS, numerous other installs and instances of this version are running just fine with Campbell Scientific, TWI, Rainwise, and a Peet Bro running without incident.
