I've just installed TexMaker with Miktex in a new Windows machine.
As I found some problems with bibtex, I decided uninstall Miktex and Install Tex Live.
And mannually change the paths and executables on configuration page.
But now, I have problems with packages: all the time I got an error about some packages. I didn't get theses errors before decide install Tex Live.
Then I realized my installation became a big mess.
I tried to reset the configuration file with Optoins -> Setting Files -> Reset Settings. The program ends and when I launch it again, the options remains the same.
I uninstalled all programs and installed again, the configuration data is still there.
Is there any way to really reset the configuration file?

You should search for the ".ini" files of TexMaker in the system and remove them. I had the similar issue before.
In Windows 11, they are under
C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Roaming\xm1\. There are "texmakerapp.ini" and "texmaker.ini"After removing them, you can have a fresh installation.
(You can manually edit them if you want but that's not a simple job.)
