Describe the bug
All settings reset when the computer unexpectedly shuts down. I've started to notice this when it happened to me for the third time (power outages are common where I am right now).

To Reproduce

  • Do some configuration in your settings (Powercord settings, plugins, etc.)
  • Make sure it is saved
  • Shut down your computer "unexpectedly" while Powercord is open (Remove the battery, cut off the power supply, etc.)
  • Open Powercord

Expected behavior
Settings should not reset.

Desktop

  • OS: Windows
  • Powercord version: Powercord v2 (11ac48c)

Additional context

  • I checked if Discord and/or Powercord are up to date
  • I made sure this is not related to an external plugin or a theme

The best thing I could do now is to keep a backup of my settings folder regularly.

One fix could just be automatically backing up the settings folder every time a setting is changed. There could be a hidden setting that powercord automatically sets to on, but technically defaults to off. If powercord starts and that setting is set to off it loads the backup and sets the setting to on.
