Step-by-Step Fix
1
Manual Deletion
Delete the config file while the app is closed; it will generate a default one on next launch.
2
Reinstall App
The cleanest way to get back to default settings.
3
Check for "Lock" Settings
Some enterprise devices have settings locked by an administrator.
When to See a Technician
