Ahh, you are right!  For some reason my QGIS3.ini was owned by root
instead of my own user, thus making it read-only.  I changed the owner
back to my user and now the plugins remain loaded!

Thanks Richard and Raymond for your solutions!

Cheers,
Adam.

Hi Adam,

Normally it should work as you wish for.

Once I had a customer with this problem. They were using Citrix and the 
user home directory (where plugins are stored) was either cleared at 
every startup, or the server where QGIS was running was a different 
every time. Could that be the problem?


Hope this helps,
Raymond

Hi all,

Every time I load QGIS, I have to go to the Plugins menu, choose
"Manage and Install Plugins", then go to the "Installed" section and
tick the plugins that I want to use, in order for them to become
available in the menu and on the toolbar.

Is there a way to permanently have them ticked, like the system plugins
are, so that I don't have to go in and re-enable them every time I load
QGIS?

Thanks,
Adam.

Hi Adam,

Your preferred behavior IS the normal behavior so it is strange that in 
your environment QGIS behaves as is...

Normally when QGIS starts, it uses a so called 'profile folder' (see 
Settings/User Profiles/Open Active Profile folder).
QGIS saves a lot of state and information in that folder. To be precise, in the 
file (in that folder) QGIS/QGIS3.ini you find a block: [PythonPlugins] which 
has all 'activated' plugins. So next time QGIS starts it will enable those 
again.

If this is not working for you, I could think of some reasons:
- your profile folder is read only (OR the QGIS3.ini is not writable)
- your company let you start every time with a pristine copy of your profile 
(loosing your 'ticks')
Is that possible?

If all fails: you can start qgis (on the command line) by pointing to another 
place for all profiles:
qgis --profiles-path 
makes qgis start with a fresh profile in that folder

Hth, regards,

Richard Duivenvoorde
