I cannot save my settings in settings.exe PES 2015 PC

[Poump]

Hello PES gamers, I am new here and astonished by the variety of topics discussed, but unfortunately, I cannot run PES 2015 game in my PC
I have a very big issue with the settings I am trying to apply in the settings.exe file located in the same folder as PES 2015 executable.
I mark the "full screen" option with the required analysis and then at the controller settings I register my DirectInput controller.
Everything runs well, I press OK to save the changes, but, strangely, when I run the Settings again, I see that the settings are not saved!
Apart from that, the game opens perfectly well, however, without my settings, it is unplayable for me!
I installed the game via Steam, my PC is a brand new HEWLETT PACKARD Pavilion 15-n221sv i7-4500U/4 GB RAM/ NVIDIA GeForce GT 840Μ 2GB.
I have not tried to apply any patch.
Can anybody suggest which way should I go to solve my issue?
Please help, this issue drives me crazy!

Have you tried right-clicking on the Settings program and selecting "Run as administrator"?

Thanks for your reply.
Yes, of course, it was one of the first things I tried. Unfortunately, it didn't solve my issue...

I don't have it installed on my machine so can't be certain but I would expect there to be some sort of INI file on your system which you can edit manually in Notepad and which the Settings program would usually edit directly. It would likely be located either in the game directory or somewhere in My Documents.

No, there are no .ini files neither in the game directory (and subfolders) nor in My Documents (and subfolders) or in any other "obvious" directory, like c:\Program files (x86)\Steam (and subfolders).
I noticed that inside My Documents there is indeed a directory KONAMI\Pro Evolution Soccer 2015 which contains two directories, "mount" and "save", however there is no .ini file in none of them.
Surfing here and there I understood that PES takes the initialization parameters from the Steam Server (or Steam cloud, that's why game runs only online) but it's not clear to me whether these parameters include purely PES settings, like display, controllers, etc.
Do you think this file might be somewhere else? Can I create one of my own and place it somewhere, e.g. in the game dierctory?

Thanks, finally I changed PC, I installed PES and it worked at once!
So, in a way, you might be right, previous PC seemed problematic, sometimes it didn't manage to complete the installation of the updates it urged me to proceed to!
