If I change the version of say, an installation, to 1.8 when it was 1.9, and click play, when I reopen the launcher it will say 1.9. Same if I change the installation. It forgets stuff.

I have this problem too, every time I change versions that I already have installed- it turns on auto jump, changes my brightness, brings up the multiplayer server warning message, takes off my resource packs: essentially clearing all of my settings. I just noticed today that it seems to be redownloading the version everytime I launch after using another version.
I added my launcher_log.txt. I've been having this issue since downloading MC to my new computer. It saves profiles and changed settings, but it refuses to keep me logged in between reboots. I don't think this was previously the case. Using launcher version 2.1.17784
Repro steps:
Create a launcher profile
Launch the game and observe that the version number is the same
Switch version of profile to another version (1.16.5 to 1.15.2)
Save and launch the game
Observe that the profile immediately reverts to previous version
Workaround: Save profile and restart launcher before pressing play.
Workaround that doesn't suck: Edit the arguments in launcher_profiles.json
Another description of detail steps to reproduce this kind of issue is in MCL-19640.
I close the launcher without launching the game and reopen it, it saves.
Hi there!
Does this issue still occur to anybody?
If yes, can you specify what in Launcher is not saved?
This ticket will automatically reopen when you reply.
The launcher does not save the profile's specified window resolution. launcher_log.txt attached. This only started happening for me in the past couple of weeks.

Minecraft Launcher version: 2.3.508-1.1.28
I can echo Craig O'Brien's report. Same versions,
Windows 10.0 2.3.508
Bootstrap
1.1.28
Resolution can be changed but is neither used when launching the game nor saved when exiting the launcher. My testing was done with a vanilla installation of the latest release.
Additionally, Java arguments were saved and are used when launching the process. Editing the launcher_profiles.json entry manually does not help either.
Same here. Yesterday my Minecraft launched at 1600x900 the way I want, today the resolution configuration resets and I get a default sized window.
Windows 10 Home Version 21H2
Minecraft Launcher v.2.3.508-1.1.32 (I'm pretty sure it updated as it launched today).
Standard launcher, I have modded launches, but even the vanilla launches don't get the resolution right.
I got the update to:
UI
2.3.520

edbcbbd97f5f9ea90ae2d99c33f63596034ec89eand it does appear to be saving and using my custom resolution settings.
I concur with natebc. After the launcher autoupdate to version 2.3.520, I no longer have the forgotten resolution problem.
sounds like version released late 2022 resolved the issue
this issue is less common still happens.
I still experience the issue with the launcher V3.2.21-2.0.16 launcher will not save what instance was selected last when launching game, or closing app
Is this still an issue on the latest version of the launcher? Also please attach your %APP_DATA%/.minecraft/launcher_log.txt so we can do some more investigation.
