‘Save Default Settings’ should make the current settings persist for new sessions, but you first need to ‘Update Defaults’ to establish your preferred settings as the current settings.

PPX9 My Quick Shapes have all decided to show the lines in Magenta, and the line setting is the 'sine wave' line, not the straight line. I don't know how it happened.

I can change the line colour to Black, and the line setting to 'straight'. I have tried to save that as default (Tools/Save Default Settings), but when i re-open the program, those settings have gone back to what they were. How can I globally set the default permanently to what I want?
