Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

Was simply configuring a controller layout for a game. Created a virtual menu, added three entries with icons. Went back to game, back to the virtual menu's settings and properly adjusted the keyboard buttons. Suddenly I got moved out and everything I configured was reset back to default - this happened to me a second time when I retried to create the settings for the game.
Environment: Game Streaming from my PC using MoonDeck

I have found the following in console_log.txt, which seems to be related:https://pastebin.com/uQb4jFuY
The corrupted files from both cases (created a backup before retrying): corrupted - controller_neptune.zip

It is related to the virtual menu

More specifically, to this section within the first controller_neptune.vdf file found within the zip above: https://pastebin.com/ZMmrwBVK

I was able to make it load again after removing this section.
