What are the steps you do before playing ? Do you open the archive, then click on "Extract to" and select the place where the files will be put, or do you (double) click on the executable to start the game ?
If it's the second, you are playing from inside the archive, and it's surely why you encounter this issue.
I've been having the same issue. It happens with every game I've launched, some of which are older versions of RenPy.
It's incredibly frustrating on games that have a lot of paths or store info to the persistent save instead of a local one -like, sure, that's a quick way to store the MC name for replays, but now if I quit your game, I come back to find my name is "Main Character"
In case it matters, it's a Windows 11 laptop and only has a single hard drive / partition. It did not have this problem with RenPy games before a few months ago.

If it started recently, and happen with older versions, then it's something you did (voluntarily or not) with Windows.
Yeah, with how little I've been able to find on this issue and the fact that it seems only one other person is even having it, I'm aware that reformatting would likely fix it, but I was hoping that someone who knows more about RenPy might have some idea first.
I'm having the same issue. All renpy games preferences, gallery and seen text history are not saving. I change music volume, text speed, etc. but after i relaunch games all values return to default. I'm using win 10 pro on vmware workstation pro and all applications work without any problems except for renpy games. Some games still work normally like Pale Carnations, but most don't for ex. Power Vacuum.
EDIT: it seems that games, which have "sync" folder in their appdata renpy save folder, are the ones with this problem. Still don't know how to solve it.

Same problem here. Got anybody a solution? Everytime I open a RenPy game its settings and persistent progress (like galleries) are reset.
I think i fixed it. Had to delete "tokens" folder in renpy saves folder located in AppData/Roaming/RenPy
EDIT: out of nowhere it's happening again, even though everything was working fine for days.
