System Information
Operating system: Microsoft Windows 11 Pro, 10.0.22621 Build 22621
Graphics card: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER, Driver Version 31.0.15.4617

Blender Version
Broken: version: 4.0.0, branch: blender-v4.0-release, commit date: 2023-11-13 17:26, hash: 878f71061b, type: release
Broken: version: 3.6.5, branch: blender-v3.6-release, commit date: 2023-10-16 14:30, hash: cf1e1ed46b, type: release
Worked: Have not used a version that works yet.

When Blender crashes or is not otherwise shutdown properly, all changes to program settings are lost and revert back to the settings present when Blender was last shutdown properly.

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error

Open Blender.
Change a program setting (cycles render devices for example).
End Blender process with task manager.
Open Blender back up.
Observe that setting has reverted back to its previous value.

This issue (at least an issue to me anyway) is more of an inconvenience as Blender tends to crash quite frequently on my system for some reason and so began noticing this.

Thanks for the report. Can confirm. This may be expected because changes done in .blend file are not saved either. In case of crash and closing the console window, WM_exit() function is not called which saves the preferences after closing the blender: https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender/src/branch/main/source/blender/windowmanager/intern/wm_init_exit.cc#L520

Forwarding to UI devs for further investigation. May not be considered as a bug.
