I am using the latest version of Fiji on multiple computers (both Windows PC and Mac). I just noticed a bug: The Edit -> Options -> Look and Feel setting change will never be saved. 

On the Mac, the default is "Mac OS X', on the PC, it's "Metal". Once Fiji is restarted, the Look and Feel will always go back to the default, never remember the changed valued. 

I tried to changed where the Fiji.app folder is located, and changed the read-only attribute of the folder, nothing worked. 

Other settings are retained fine from session to session. But Look and feel never remembers the change.

Curtis linked to the relevant GitHub issue in #865. I don't believe there are two separate issues, one for OSX and one for Windows.. it looks like a known, platform-independent problem with the Look and Feel plugin.

Closing as a duplicate. If, after resoling #866 the issue is not also solved on Windows, we can revisit this.
