Welcome to the QAP forum.

It seems that you installed the portable version from the ZIP file. In this case, see in see https://www.quickaccesspopup.com/how-can...-portable/

"You must not install Quick Access Popup in “portable” mode in a system-protected folders like those under C:\Program Files or C:\. This could prevent QAP from saving your configuration."

If you install using the Setup file, you won't have this error.
