Thank you both.  I also noticed this recently and just assumed it was something with my system.

@nobus.....

As one who has been around a while... I don't like change when I don't see it as an improvement.  An example is the change from text menus to the "click on your avatar in the upper-right corner to see your choices".  Some may call me a curmudgeon for this.  But... I've learned to live with it as part of "progress".

Shall we discuss Control Panel vs. "that gear you see when you click on the WIndows icon"?

FYI the returning comment is still there Martin
and Yes, that is what i've been trying to do - save the setting at 50
Compprobsolve  did you mean "  a bad tempered person"?
>>  Shall we discuss Control Panel vs. "that gear you see when you click on the WIndows icon"?    not sure what you mean with this
but what i mean is that a text as indicator of what lies beyond is MUCH clearer than  an icon ( to me). I understand that txt must change with every language -  well choosen icons not
but what is - as example  - the differnece of 3 dots in a row versus 9 dots in a square?

i know that all programming now is done for handhelds - which is fine for me - but i feel they should provide an option for desk and laptops - with1 click of the mouse
I didn't use "curmudgeon" accurately.  I was meaning it more toward someone who objects to change when I don't see it as an improvement.  Some would call that being "stuck in my ways".  To be clear, I DO welcome change (and adapt to it) when it really does seem to be better.

My "Shall we discuss..." was a reference to the sort of "improvement" that doesn't really seem to be one.  Control Panel (in Windows) used the be THE place to change many settings.  That seemed rather efficient.  Now we have functions moving over to Settings (the gear symbol that pops up when you click on the Windows icon).  I'm not seeing that as an improvement.

"3 dots in a row versus 9 dots in a square ": excellent example!

I remember the "old days" when every programmer had his or her idea about a "better" menu system.  Some were better than others (in my view, at least), but having a different one in every program was a nuisance.  Windows helped standardize that somewhat.  The result may not have been the "best", but being able to navigate a new program without a lot of new learning was a big plus.

CompProblemsolv tx for the info; i am dutch speaking, so i don't have a vocabular like native people -but i always wish to learn.  for the rest - i agree
martin - i have  tested it out - it seemed ok - but after a reboot it was back to 25
Hmm, that does seem to be the case that it will still reset. I will file a feature request to get that fixed.
