"Save" on php.ini file won't stick (1 reply)

Can someone please address this question for me?

I have a WAMP 4.9.7 local install.
I opened the php.ini file in the apache2.4.33/bin folder and changed the max_upload_filesize setting so I could upload files that exceed the 2M default.

Every time I do this, save the file, Exit WAMP, and restart WAMP, that setting I saved reverts back to the default. The other php.ini files in the wamp/php folder don’t do this.

After I save the file and restart WAMP, wordpress tells me that the upload limit is still 2M and won't let me upload a 6M file.

I have never seen this in the past with other local installs I've done in WAMP. This is chimpanzee stuff: You just change the upload_max_filesize setting, save the file, and you can upload files to the limit you set. Simple.

Why is the php.ini file reverting back to the default after I save it?

Any help here is greatly appreciated.
