BFV Loadout restarting after game restart [PC]

Hello, from the launch of the game I am expiriencing very frustrating problem. Every time I restart the game, several leadout setting resets to default. For example: now I unlocked the new plane Ju-88 C, so I equipped it...then I quit the game. Following day, I go to match and I have equipped the stardart Ju-88 version instead of the C version I put there yesterday... wich was frustrating as I wanted to level it up. And this is basicly happening to all vehicle slots. Combat roles are restarting aswell, and visability of KillLog is also restarting itself to "hide" in Gameplay settings. 

Obviously the biggest issue are the vehicles as the rest can be solved in-game.
Thank you for hepling me out.

    Guess we have to find out why the Battlefield V client and perhaps the Origin client is having issues with accessing and overwriting certain files. Something could be restricting your Windows user from having proper access to the Battlefield V documents folder or the files in the folder.

    First thing to try is probably to manually make sure Origin and the BFV .exe files are started as administrator by enabling that by rightclicking the origin and BattlefieldV .exe files and setting run as administrator in properties.

    Another thing to try to rule out your current Windows user would be to simpy create another Windows user and see if it still happens.

    Lastly, do you happen to have "Controlled Folder Access" enabled in Windows 10? It's under Windows Security --> Virus & Threat Protection

    @Carbonic  YES, its works! I deleted the PROFSAVE and renamed PROFSAVE_tmp to PROFSAVE and it looks like the Gameplay settings is no longer restarting even after couple of restarts of the game.
    But there is the _tmp file in the folder again.


    Doesnt work for the vehicle loadout and Combat roles though (they are still restarting)

    Somethink Definetly happend. I have set the bfv.exe and origin.exe to run as administrator...that didnt do anythink.

    So I created a new Windows account and ran the game there, I changed the loadout and quited the game. Before I turned on the game again I set it to "ran as an administrator" wich caused not loading into game-menu at all (just black screen)...so I turned the "ran as an administrator" option off. I ran the game again and everythink was good. I restarted the game couple times to make sure... everythink was good as it should be. Then I went back to my primary Win account and started the game(as an administrator). I dont remember if I had to change my loadout and restart the game or not... but it was all fine then. I restarted the game, origin and PC to make sure it works. 
    Now both gameplay settings and Loadout is still restarting but into diffrent "pattern" that I've probably somehow set today.
    I will try to go to the 2nd Win account and se what happens...

    That sounds "fun" - let me know how it goes.

    Windows permissions can be a pain to fix when something goes weirdly wrong. There's a reason most workplaces just formats the entire computer and flashes a fresh image onto the computer when it happens.

    So the 2nd Windows account works well. If I want to change the loadout I just switch to 2nd Win account and run BFV there. Change the stuff and quit the game and when back on the original WinAccount the loadout from 2nd acc is there and isnt restarting after game restarts.

    If I'll have some time, I will try to "reinstall windows". But for now I am counting this as a fix.
    Thank you for your support @Carbonic.
