Defaults (ui-config.json) do not work for me

[SolemAubrey]

I know my issue is extremely non-critical, but for the life of me I have no idea why my ui-config.json settings are always ignored. There is a whole "defaults" page in the settings that just doesn't seem to work, either (the one that supposedly saves my UI changes to this ui-config file).

Any ideas what I can do to get my favorite settings to automatically load on launch?

just saying that it doesn't work doesn't really help anyone in figuring out why it isn't working

I want you to do a test
what happens when you press View changes after you have change some inputs

for example when you change DPM++ 2M -> DPM++ SDE

then press View changes

then press Apply then Reload UI
if it works then DPM++ SDE shoub become the default on page load

also I would like you to send sysinfo download from the sysinfo tab in settings

I'm assuming that you're saying that it doesn't work in general, and not for certain specific inpus
if it is for specific inputs then it could be possible that those inputs are deliberately excluded from the system

[SolemAubrey]

Correct, it doesn't work in general. Absolutely nothing happens when i attempt to press view changes. It doesn't matter what I have changed, how much or how little. It never acknowledges that I have made changes, and attempting to the edit the config file has no affect on the defaults. It always launches with vanilla defaults, even though changes to the config file have been made manually and are saved.

This isn't my first time with A1111. I was able to do this on my old PC just fine, so I don't know know why I can't get it to work on a newer PC.

this is in your sysinfo

exception": "Expecting ',' delimiter: line 79 column 5 (char 3605)"

Translation:
when reading ui-config.json, at line 79 it is expecting to see comma , but did not see it, and so it was not able to read the file

in other words
your ui-config.json is missing a comma or possibly even more
possibly because you tried manually editing it before or it got corrupted somehow

Fix:
Solution 1 (if there's something important in it)
try to repair the file yourself

Solution 2
delete it and let webui re-create it

from your sysinfo

                ]
            ]
        },

your console should be also be spammed with this errors on webui load and when trying to uses the defaults system
next time when you encounter an issue best include those logs
