Does anyone know if it's possible to change where ArcPro looks for the user.config file?  I'd like to copy my user.config to a centralized location since I run ArcPro from multiple machines, and it would be nice if all my settings carried over between them.  So I'd set each machine to look for the user.config stored somewhere on the network....if that makes any sense.

Thanks

OK, so it seems like I have found the file I need to update as well as the registry spot I need to update, but for some reason when ArcPro opens it seems to overwrite the registry setting I manually update, back to the 'system default' location.

So I enter in this:

\\region.durham.local\fileshare\WKSTechsupt-Users\bulla_b\Documents\ArcPro\AppData\Roaming\Esri\ArcGISPro.exe_StrongName_yhpsrysqpn4fvmb0spwbakt5o5e50din\2.9.0.0\user.config

and the software seems to automatically revert back to the default settings which are this:

Is there a way to stop ArcPro from reverting back to the default settings each time it opens??

I would love for an answer on this as well. What I'm looking for is configuring the defaults under Options so that my desktop templates are preconfigured.
