This may help with shared portable folders or read-only installations of the Arduino IDE, just change the line in prefereces.txt from:

preferences.readonly=false

to

preferences.readonly=true

and the IDE will not try to save the file back (any change to the preferences will be lost after closing the IDE)

Fix #5668
