Changing the default setting for 'Opacity' in the 'New Layer' Dialogue (Gimp 2.10.8)

Previously it has always defaulted to 100.0 - I have no idea what triggered this change.

I have tried changing it to 100.0 and quitting Gimp - but when I reload and try again the default is back to 0.0

A change to 100.0 for the creation of a new layer does not even persist for a session, each and every time
Layer | New Layer is used the opacity reverts back to 0.0

I have RTFM'd and Searched, I can find no help on this.

Can someone please tell me how to reset the default opacity setting for the new layer dialogue?

Platform - Windows 10
Gimp     - 2.10.8

Everything in the "New layer" dialog is remember from the previous use, even across Gimp sessions. If all else fails:

1. Exit Gimp
   
2. Locate your Gimp profile
   
3. Get there in your file explrorer
   
4. Open the gimprc file with a text editor
   
5. Locate the line that says (layer-new-opacity 0.xxxxx)
   
6. Replace it with (layer-new-opacity 1.)
   
7. Close the file
   
8. Restart Gimp
   

This could also pinpoint that the gimprc file is read-only, which could be an explanation of your problem.
