script files will not stay checked

I have mods in my base game only.  I have tried reinstalling and repairing the game.  I removed all mods and still have the issue where I go into gameplay settings and check off the box for script files and restart the game and it reloads with it unchecked.  It also keeps taking me through the tutorial even though I have completed it and giving me the introduction for the delivery service with every game load.  I have also changed it to full screen several times and it continues to load in window mode anyway.  This is all with the mods removed. I have added -f to load the game in full screen, but I still have the issue of the script files not being loaded with the game because the script mod box does not remain checked after I restart the game. I have checked it, came out of game options and went back and it was still checked, but once I restart the game for it to load the script files, it does not and the box is no longer checked. I am playing this game on a brand new HP laptop with 8 GB of RAM and 247 GB of memory.  this is the only thing installed on the computer outside of AVG virus protection which has Sims 4 files listed as exceptions. How can I fix this?
