'Windshield Effects' Option reverts to Medium even when High is selected and Saved

Yeah, its disappointing such a easy fix was missed on patch 3. Maybe next patch.

Do you have the same issue if you follow the OPā€™s steps to reproduce it?
ā€¢ Yes. Many other settings are not saved as well. This has been happening since the original install, and is still happening after Patch #3.

Provide extra information to complete the original description of the issue:
ā€¢ DLSS level not saved (Quality switches to Performance)
Pre-caching not saved (reverts to Ultra)
Texture Resolution not saved (reverts to 8x8)
Anisotropic Filtering reverts from OFF to 16X
Raytraced Shadows not saved (reverts to OFF)
All Quality levels (traffic, buildings, rock, etc.) revert to Ultra.
TLOD and OLOD do not change.
HDR does not change.

If relevant, provide additional screenshots/video:
ā€¢ ETA: I uninstalled the nVidia App and now my graphics settings are being retained when I restart the sim. It appears the App was controlling those options, even though I did not have ā€˜Optimizeā€™ enabled.
