Unable to save settings : IntelliJ IDEA

I use IntelliJ IDEA 15 and have a problem with the auto-saving. For example I make a new configuration, e.g. Show the line number. When I close IntelliJ and reopen my IDE, it doesn't save my configuration and shows me this message:

Unable to save settings : Failed to save settings . Please restart IntelliJ IDEA

How do I import settings into IntelliJ?

After importing, you have to explicitly pick up those settings. I.e. if you imported code style settings you have to go to Idea settings and explicitly pick this imported code style from drop down list.

I get this too (IntelliJ 15.0.5), but only when the "Markdown support" plugin is used. Once a .md file is visualised the error starts appearing.

For future reference current version: 2016.1.20160405.143

Not a very solution-oriented post, but maybe this can help someone further pinpoint the source of the error.
