Issues with graphic settings

First off, whenever I log into the game, it changes my Nvidia Control Panel settings to default and I then have to reconfigure them. This is a huge issue because no game should have the ability to change my monitors' settings, let alone have the ability to mess with a program not related to the game itself. Secondly, the changes I make to the game's settings DO NOT save. Through the launcher settings, after making changes, I click "Apply" and then "OK". I can immediately open those settings back up after the window closes and these settings didn't save. The in-game settings will last as long as the game is open. As soon as I close the game those settings are then defaulted. When I launch the game back up it chooses to use the launcher's settings, which I can't change because again, they don't save. I want to play in full 1920x1080, not windowed 1024x768.
My process when I want to play is as follows: Open game launcher, log in, open Nvidia Control Panel and reconfigure my PC's settings, click back over to Wizard101 and change the in-game settings, start playing the game.

This process takes ~15 minutes but would probably be less if I could be bothered to write down my Nvidia settings, although I don't because I shouldn't have to go in and change them back. Oh and I should probably mention that touching the brightness slider in-game changes my Nvidia settings to default as well.

I've never seen this problem, but a workaround you might try is check the settings before you login. You can click the settings button in the launcher and set them there before you load.

I said in my post that the launcher settings don't save and immediately reset when I close the pop-up window. However, I found out that if I close the game through Windows Task Manager instead of quitting from in-game, my settings save so long as I DON'T open the launcher settings. This does not stop the game from messing with Nvida Control Panel.
