Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is an enthralling first-person shooter for Windows. Yet, some players have reported issues with that game’s settings not saving. When those players change some options in Modern Warfare, the settings reset (don’t save) after restarting the game.

That issue typically arises for the game’s graphical and key bind settings. Consequently, players can’t change the graphics and keyboard control options for Modern Warfare. They might still be able to play the game ok, but players sometimes need to adjust such settings to optimize Warfare.

The same issue can also arise for Warzone, which is Modern Warfare’s battle royale game. Do you need to fix settings not saving in Modern Warfare/Warzone? If so, the potential resolutions below might be of help to you.

How Come Modern Warfare isn’t saving my game settings?

Controlled folder access is one of the most widely cited reasons for savings not saving in Modern Warzone and other Windows games. That feature can stop games from changing files in certain folders. Thus, it can block Modern Warfare from modifying files in protected folders to save settings.

However, Controlled folder access isn’t necessarily the only cause for Modern Warfare not saving game settings. Sometimes games can’t save settings because their files and folders might be locked by read-only mode.

Expert Tip: Some PC issues are hard to tackle, especially when it comes to corrupted repositories or missing Windows files. If you are having troubles fixing an error, your system may be partially broken. We recommend installing Restoro, a tool that will scan your machine and identify what the fault is.

What is Controlled folder access?

Controlled folder access is a Windows Security feature. That feature stops suspect programs from making changes to protected folders. It is primarily included to forestall ransomware in Windows 11/10.

Disabling Controlled folder access, as outlined in the first resolution, is one way you can stop that feature blocking games from saving settings.

Select the Allow an app through Controlled folder access option.

Click the Add an allowed app option, and select Browse all apps.

Select the Modern Warfare Launcher.exe, and press the Open button.
