 I have an issue with nRF Kconfig GUI in VS Code. 
 My prj.conf is empty, and the _defconfig file of my board contains this: 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
When I open the GUI and search for serial, it indicates that it is turned on, which is correct as it&amp;#39;s enabled</description><dc:language>en-US</dc:language><generator>Telligent Community 13</generator><lastBuildDate>Mon, 14 Apr 2025 12:40:20 GMT</lastBuildDate><atom:link rel="self" type="application/rss+xml" href="https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/120654/nrf-kconfig-gui-not-saving-changes" /><item><title>RE: nRF Kconfig GUI not saving changes</title><link>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/531694?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Mon, 14 Apr 2025 12:40:20 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:8ff5ac46-fa2c-484a-bff2-ade993b2dafe</guid><dc:creator>Marte Myrvold</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Hi,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This could be because the nRF Kconfig GUI disables configs by removing them and setting them to &amp;quot;not set&amp;quot; rather than explicitly disabling them by setting =n. Since CONFIG_SERIAL is enabled in the board file and not in prj.conf, the tool thinks there are no changes to make, as there is no CONFIG_SERIAL to remove from prj.conf. &lt;br /&gt;If you select _defconfig instead, the changes will be saved. However, we do not recommend making changes to the board files, so I would not recommend doing this. A better solution is to set CONFIG_SERIAL=n in prj.conf.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I have reported this internally to the VS Code team.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Best regards,&lt;br /&gt;Marte&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
