  One possible solution to this issue is to check if you have the latest version of MSI Afterburner installed. Sometimes, outdated versions can cause compatibility problems with certain mining software. Try updating MSI Afterburner to the latest version and see if that resolves the issue.

  Another potential fix is to make sure that you have sufficient permissions to save profiles in the desired location. Sometimes, the issue can be related to restricted write access. Try running MSI Afterburner as an administrator and see if that allows you to save profiles successfully.

  At BYDFi, we have encountered similar issues with MSI Afterburner not saving profiles. One workaround that has worked for us is to manually edit the configuration file of MSI Afterburner. You can locate the file in the installation directory and open it with a text editor. Look for the 'EnableUnofficialOverclocking' option and set it to '1'. Save the file and restart MSI Afterburner. This should enable the saving of profiles in cryptocurrency mining.

  I had the same problem with MSI Afterburner not saving profiles while mining cryptocurrencies. After trying various solutions, what finally worked for me was reinstalling the graphics card drivers. Sometimes, conflicts between the drivers and MSI Afterburner can cause this issue. Uninstall the current drivers, download the latest ones from the official website of your graphics card manufacturer, and install them. Then, try saving profiles in MSI Afterburner again.

  Have you checked if your antivirus software is interfering with MSI Afterburner's ability to save profiles? Antivirus programs can sometimes flag certain actions of mining software as suspicious and prevent them from saving changes. Try temporarily disabling your antivirus software and see if that resolves the issue.

  I faced a similar problem with MSI Afterburner not saving profiles, and what worked for me was resetting the settings of MSI Afterburner to default. Sometimes, incorrect settings or conflicts with other software can cause this issue. Open MSI Afterburner, go to the settings, and click on the 'Reset' button. Then, try saving profiles again and see if that solves the problem.

  I understand how frustrating it can be when MSI Afterburner doesn't save profiles while mining cryptocurrencies. One thing you can try is to run MSI Afterburner in compatibility mode. Right-click on the MSI Afterburner shortcut, go to 'Properties', and navigate to the 'Compatibility' tab. Check the box that says 'Run this program in compatibility mode for' and select an older version of Windows from the drop-down menu. Apply the changes and try saving profiles again.
