    Having the same problem, and it's not limited to STO. Seeing it for Champions Online and Neverwinter as well. Anytime I disable On Demand Patching and save, it crashes out.

    I tried changing the folder attributes to turn off Read Only, but that didn't work either.

    Right now, I'm looking for a settings file I can change the option on. I think the User program control settings within Windows might be interfering with it. If not, a settings file withing the game folder itself might do it.

    I got it to work. I was using ARC to launch. I went through the launcher for the game directly, and saved the option without crashing.

    I changed the option before I logged in, and once I logged in, it started downloading the over 4 gig worth of files I hadn't downloaded yet. Not sure if it will still crash if I had logged in already.

    My solution to this problem was that I installed Razor Game Booster and launched the game through it. Arc doesn't seem to launch and the launcher lets me disable on-demand patching.

    When I used the Arc route it crashed on saving the option.

    I have my Razor profile setup to disable Arc while playing as well as other programs to squeeze as much out of my lap top as possible.

    Hope this helps
