Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/NickeManarin/ScreenToGif/issues/1421

Originally assigned to: @NickeManarin on GitHub.

Describe the bug
I don't know if it's because the software is auto-updating or what. But I often have to go into settings and re-enable
all of my specific configurations. Specially "start minimized to the system tray", "keep the app open even if all windows are closed", and any shortcuts I've configured.
To Reproduce
Just have the app installed until one day it doesn't start minimized when the computer starts up.

Expected behavior
I expect it to remember custom configurations

Screenshots
n/a

Desktop (please complete the following information):

OS: Windows 11
Version 2.41.2 (currently, this hsa happened for as long as I can remember so probably also previous versions)

Additional context
N/A

The issue is that the app stores its settings in a XAML file.
For some reason, sometimes the file gets corrupted on save.
I need to replace the settings format with something else more reliable or improve reliability of the current method.
