Live Preset not being saved (1.8.0.7240.)

Am working with 1.8.0.7240 on a brand new Win10 installation. (My first.)

I've run NTLite on it Live four times now, with reboots inbetween. Unfortunately, only the latest OnLine Preset got saved.

I haven't noticed this before when I run Live on Win8.1. Maybe I'm rebooting too soon, before the copy operation starts from C: to D:, where the NTLite executable lives?

Update: Upon restoring a previous image, I see the problem. The problem is that the name of the On-Line Preset is always the same. And so it overwrites whatever is in the Preset folder.

AFAIK, this has never happened before. That is, I have a slew (that's an strange American idiom) of On-Line Presets saved. They are titled "Auto-saved Session [with a long string here in brackets]. And some of those were made with 1.8.0.7240 in Win8.1.

I'm not seeing that on my Win10 run of NTLite.

Just me? Or something strange about Win10?

Autosaved online presets always have the same name, offline presets change with the guid, if you "recycle" (use backup or untouched) an offline image, when is edited with NTLite again, NTLite will overwrite the existing autosaved preset with the same guid in the name and that made me to always rename a preset.

Yes, NTLite always overwrites an existing autosaved preset, the guid ("[a long string in brackets]") always change when the image is edited, if you remove a component from an untouched and also remove a different component from an untouched, the guid will be the same but if you remove a second component (after removing the first component and saving the offline image), the guid will change on each of the 2 autosaved preset.

I noticed in 7 online (doing live removals), long time ago.
 
Kasual You are correct. My mistake. So,

1) it would be nice if NTLite would disambiguate the Live AutoSave Presets, for the reason I mentioned above. Even a time stamp would help.

2) I noticed that clicking on the Last change heading in the Preset column (still) does not sort Presets by date. Although the window flashes as if it was doing something.
