MT5 automatically resets settings in the tester after switching to the "Settings" tab

The investigation showed that when the terminal starts after a clean installation, the "Tester" subfolder is not created in the <client terminal data folder> \ MQL5 \ Profiles \.
If you create this subfolder with your hands, the problem of resetting the settings disappears.

Hello,
I have problems with the MT5 strategy tester.
All parameters are reset to defaults when changed.
If I change a parameter in inputs and then click on settings and then click on inputs, all parameters are back to defaults.
This behavior is when I install a new MT5.
On another MT5 that has been on the PC for a while, it works. But they are the same versions. Tested on another PC, it is the same.
What could be the problem?
Thanks and best regards
