Hello, I just installed the latest version of Kicad, the 7.0.6, and I have some questions.
At each start-up of Kicad a window opens to indicate a follow -up by the designers in the event of a crash, I click on “yes” but at the next start you must re-validate the choice !!! How to delete this message?
Made title more informative
Does this thread help at all ?
Sorry @retiredfeline better now !
Thanks @RaptorUK RaptorUK but not really in relation.
When starting Kicad, under Preferences, I try to uncheck :
Did you try running KiCAD with Admin rights ?
Yes, I’m the only user on my laptop and account is set to admin.
But with Windows we never know !
I believe the correct procedure is to install as admin, but run it as a normal user.
Something on your computer is preventing kicad from writing files to the correct location but letting it “read” from the non-existent location.
Bizzare behavior to debug 
KiCad tries to store it’s configuration in %APPDATA/kicad/7.0 try and paste this in explorer, it should jump to the folder.
In that folder, kicad_common.json should exist.
Inside of that file
"do_not_show_again": {
"data_collection_prompt": true,
This section should exist, when you accept/reject the data dialogs, “data_collection_prompt” should be true
Hi everyone
I install Kicad 7.0.6 (current), but every start i receive 2 question on first open of the day:
1)Participate … your schema never will be uploaded?
2)Would you like to automatically check for plugin updates on startup?
Why is this and how i can fix? Any clue will be appreciated.
Best Regards
In my case, i have my documents folder shared with OneDrive for backup in the modality (allways on local for all folders and files)
As i know the documents was renamed to
C:\Users{Local User}\OneDrive - {company} \Documents
Is possible that the prefferences jump the new location in some moment
Did you already try everything that was suggested in the posts above ?
My case is similar to Vivalv case. I am the only user and i am admin. I add some information about Onedrive because i think that is important. Is possible that kicad store prefferences in Documents folder and retreive from Onedrive ( or viceversa)
Have a look in the APPDATA folder mentioned, see if you can create a new txt file in there using Notepad, if you cannot then it’s a user permission issue. If you know how, have a look at the kicad_common.json file to see what user permissions exist for that file.
Using:
%APPDATA%/kicad/7.0
go to
C:\Users{myusername}\AppData\Roaming\kicad\7.0
In the folder i find the file and inside file i found:
"do_not_show_again": {
"data_collection_prompt": false,
"env_var_overwrite_warning": false,
"scaled_3d_models_warning": false,
"zone_fill_warning": false
},
And today did not appear the anoining popup. Solved for me. Thanks for all help.
Windows can´t find %APPDATA/kicad/7.0. Check spelling and try again.
but i find the kicad/7.0 inside onedrive documents without
Dear Raptor,
Yes you are right. Best Regards
