I can't reproduce this under Windows.

This setting is no different from other settings that you change from the global preferences interface. If the value is changed, it will be written to the preferences file (darktablerc) and read the next time you start the program.

If the next time you start it, you see that the preference value was not saved, this can only mean one thing - it was not written to the file. So, some attributes or file permissions of the darktablerc file are preventing the program from writing to the file. You need to figure out what exactly the problem is and why it is so on your system.

On macOS, unless you specify a different location on the command line when starting the program, the configuration file is .config/darktable/darktablerc.
