I have to turn it on and off every time I start the game.

Do you mean when you start the program or when you start a new game?

OK. Has not happened to me, but I'll take a look at where the settings are saved to see if we can narrow down the issue, when I get back home today

Sorry for the delay.
They had the brilliant idea of saving the settings in a binary file instead of clear text... sigh
In Windows 10, the OPTIONS file is in Users\[USERNAME]\AppData\LocalLow\Microids\Flashback
You should check if the file gets written to when changing the options in game. The write to disk is done when you press "Back" to go to the main menu after making the changes. If the file is not being properly written or if it appears the game cannot read it when loading, for any reason, please let me know.

If I was you, I would try uninstalling and deleting all remaining files before trying again. After that, it's contacting GOG support :(

Known issue. I can confirm the same: I don't use Bloom. After I saved the game with Bloom OFF, when I quit and restart the game, and Continue... Bloom UI = OFF but it is actually ON and you have to change it On/Off again every single time.
