**System Information**
Operating system:
Graphics card:
**Blender Version**
Broken: (2.82 Alpha)
Worked: (not sure about if it ever worked)
Note: in 2.7 and earlier F8 reloads the Addons while preserving the preferences. Since F8 no longer works, the issue started getting serious for me at least.
**Short description of error**

**Exact steps for others to reproduce the error**
Simple example Addon for testing: {F8004079}
- install any addon that has one or more addon preferences defined.
- enable the addon
- set the preferences to something different from default values
- store user preferences
- restart Blender
- Check that the addon preferences are preserved
- Disable the Addon
- Enable it again
- See that the Addon preferences are reset to their default values
- furthermore (if Auto save is enabled) the previously stored user preferences have been overwritten by the default settings.
