Your full debug log (wiki), please.

Things concerning the userdata folder are already being looked into, see https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=339891
A "not saving" situation is new though.

That would imply a possible user permission problem. Did you install the previous Kodi version as Administrator, or a different user?

 Yes you are right. Kodi 18 must be installed as an administrator and run as an administrator - then there is no problem saving the settings.

Thanks for your help.

only install required admins rights, Kodi doesn't require admin rights to work by default. but if you install it into root of drive C and run Kodi in portable mode then it requires admins rights to write its data.
