Waves user presets not saving after shutdown

This is Cantabile Lite 4.0 build 4220 on Windows 11 Pro

I have plugins from a few manufacturers including antares, oeksound, kilohearts, the reaper plugins, etc; and they all work fine. If I save my song and shut down cantabile and start it back up, it’s restored in the state I left it in. Not true on my waves plugins. They only return to the last factory created preset I selected. I’ve tried creating new plugin snapshots. I’ve tried moving where the preset changes. I’ve tried running cantabile as administrator; and nothing seems to make it actually keep the settings. I have to manually go back into every waves plugin and re-select the user preset I saved for it; which is enough to make me just uninstall Waves. Other than this, the plugins themselves seem to function correctly.

I’m hoping someone can give me a tip as to what I’ve done wrong so I can continue to at least use these plugins.
