Hello,
it seems that Launcher can't save your last active preset because he can't access the file where it's stored. You may try to open a folder with presets "C:\Users\Marvin\AppData\Local\Arma 3 Launcher\Presets\" and delete the file "arma3.defaultpreset2".

I tried creating a folder named Arma 3 Launcher since i couldnt find it in the place you told me to look, and when i tried i found out that the folder is hidden

Thanks, I changed my folder settings, and went in and deleted the file, thanks very much :)!

Splendidly done, sir. Thank you for you cooperation.
