Unable to save changes under Options/Settings in Power BI Desktop

[EvL1973]

Hi, 

One of my co-workers is unable to save changes in the Option Settings. 

We tried different options to change, but it doesnt work. No error message is shown. 

Steps that my colleague performed: 

In Power BI Desktop: 

1) Go to File/Option and Settings/Options
2) Select Preview Features and check 1 or more features. 

3) Click 'OK' button to save the changes. 
Result: After clicking OK, nothing happens. No error message, the option screen is still visible and you are not able to save the changes. 

I've never seen this before, and it seems to be a very local problem for just this user. 

Does anyone know what could be the cause of this, and how to solve it?

Reinstalling the software fixed it for me.

If you don't have any locations defined in the option settings for Python or R, check also the Save and Recover section of the settings.  There is a location for Autorecovery that needs to be set and mine was corrupted (even though I repointed it at the same location in order to get the error to clear.)  Once the issue was cleared, I was once again able to save my option settings.  Microsoft should post an error message instead of relying on sluething to find the hidden error.
