Invalid #0 character error and settings not saving

Started the program and got an "Invalid #0 character" error. Thought it was due to an outdated version. Now using 2.1.5 and registered a single user. Works fine, and I got it all set up with my settings. But when it starts up again, I get the same error and all my settings are defaulted, including entering the registration key. Does this happen when the computer restarts, or when I start up the program? Please help. Thank you.

It sounds like your configuration file has been damaged. Please try the following:
- Close WiFi Guard via File - Quit in the main menu. Don't use the [X] button as it will only minimise the application.
- Press Win + R and enter %LOCALAPPDATA%\WiFi Guard. This will open WiFi Guard's settings folder.
- Delete everything from that folder, start WiFi Guard again and enter your licence key.
After this, all settings should revert to their defaults and a new configuration file will be created.
