How to save preferences to Affinity Photo Program Interface

[MartinMHC]

Hello

I have Affinity Photo 1.83 and have a consistent issue I can't seem to resolve.

When I make changes in the "default" setting of any part of the Affinity Interface, these settings are not preserved for future.

EXAMPLE: 
When I use the colour picker tool I do NOT want to have the "apply to selection" selected, so when I load Affinity, I select this tool and unset this tickbox, and use this tool.
Then when I reopen this image file, when I move to another image file in the same opening of Affinity (another tab), or when I close Affinity and re-open it, the colour picker tool has reverted back to the ticked state, so every single separate image I need to use this one tool, I have to adjust the settings repetatively.

This is one tool. This issue is present across the board on all tools and all shortcuts; Affinity does not save my preferences between images or loads. How can I resolve this?
