Hi I use both ft8 and 165 on six meters a lot and of late have to swap between the to modes often while trying to work dx. So I set up 2 configurations which works well apart from the freq (ft8 313 and qt65 275 which I have to change each time the rest of the settings are saved every time. Is this a fault my end ? or could it be changed to save the freq in the config.

But, I have an easier way for you to deal with this in the future... I am not interested in installing multiple versions on my computer. (I know Michael has to because he has to test Hamlib.) On my computer, I install WSJT-X in this folder regardless of version: C:\Program Files\WSJT-X To do that, you must override the default path offered by the program. This will leave you with one version. Also, I do not allow the program to add a new shortcut every time an update is installed. Instead, I have one shortcut on my desktop to the above path. Unfortunately, this will still leave you with multiple versions listed in the Add/Remove Apps control panel. To clean that up: [1] change the above path temporarily to something else such as: C:\Program Files\WSJT-Xxxxxxxx [2] go to the Add/Remove Apps control panel. [3] uninstall each of the older versions of WSJT-X listed there. Each time you ask Windows to uninstall, it will say something like "I can't find that. Would you it removed from the list of programs." You say yes. [4] When you are done with step 3, leaving only the most recent version of WSJT-X showing, undo the name change you made in step 1. Yes, it's a pain in the neck. But it is a lot faster than what you were doing.

This then gives you all the needed files in a folder structure, simply copy the folder to your 'ham radio' folder tree and create your own shortcuts. You are then free to prune the directory tree for OLD versions whenever you like with zero impact on the installed packages. My shack PC does not even show that wsjt-x is installed on it as far as the Add/Remove programs panel is concerned.
