The two build dates mentionned by Murat strongly suggest a regression :-(. Still, I dont see the problem on the computers I use (Windows 7 and 10, I don't have a Windows 11 machine). Do you have special characters in your %HOMEPATH% ? spaces ? hebrew characters for Isaac or cyrillic ones for Mishel Kari ? Could you try this in the CLI version of gnubg : Change a simple parameter (threads number for instance) show threads set threads <previous value + 1> Save the settings save settings Is there an error message ? Or just "Settings saved to ...." (possibly translated) ? Is the "...." path right ? Open the gnubgautorc in a text editor and look for the "set threads" line. Does it have the expected value ? If not change it. Start another CLI instance Does "show threads" give the expected value ?
