I know it is not saved in the blend file, but it just suddenly lost all my preferences with no changes from my version of Blender. My laptop also didn't change preferences which also has the same version of Blender, maybe it's a freak incident, but I still think this can be looked into.

In order to investigate what has happened, we must have a way to reproduce problem. Can you cause this issue to happen again?
