Godot settings reset when exiting to project list

[JamesC01]

Godot version

3.3.3.stable

System information

Windows 10

Issue description

This is a rare occurrence, but has been happening since 3.2, I believe. Sometimes, when I exit to project list, I get some errors in the console, and the project list is empty, and my settings have been reset.

Here's the error list:

ERROR: Cannot open file 'C:\Users/James/AppData/Roaming/Godot/editor_settings-3.tres'.
At: scene/resources/resource_format_text.cpp:1232
ERROR: Failed loading resource: C:\Users/James/AppData/Roaming/Godot/editor_settings-3.tres. Make sure resources have been imported by opening the project in the editor at least once.

I check crystal disk info, and it says everything is alright. That's scared me into backing up, though, so I'll probably do that soon!
