Mupen64plusnext Not saving config?

Hey guys, Has anyone run into an issue where Mupen doesn’t configure your controller when the core and content loads?

What I have noticed is that I do not get the little configure message when Mupen loads. I have to back out to the quick menu, press a button, then go back into the game.

I have saved config for core multiple times, and that doesn’t solve it.

Anyone have any troubleshooting tips? Thank you for your time and attention.
