Issue Summary

When Confluence is installed on a Windows server(Single Node), updating the "Adjust Max Entries" values under ⚙️ > General Configuration > Cache Management > Show Advanced View }}does not write any changes to the file: {{shared-home/config/cache-settings-overrides.properties file.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Go to ⚙️ > General Configuration > Cache Management > Show Advanced View and update "Adjust Max Entries" values.
2. Check shared-home/config/cache-settings-overrides.properties file.
3. File or the values won't be updated.

Expected Results

• When "Adjust Max Entries" is modified via the Cache Management advanced view, Confluence should write the corresponding cache configuration entries to shared-home/config/cache-settings-overrides.properties, so that:
  • The overrides are visible in the file.
  • The settings persist across Confluence restarts.

Actual Results

• Updating "Adjust Max Entries" under ⚙️ > General Configuration > Cache Management > Show Advanced View
  appears to save successfully in the UI.

• The file shared-home/config/cache-settings-overrides.properties on the Windows Confluence server remains empty or unchanged after saving.

• After restarting Confluence, the cache values do not persist and revert to defaults, indicating that the changes were never written to the overrides file.

Workaround

• Manually edit the shared-home/config/cache-settings-overrides.properties file to set the desired cache values.
• Save the file.
• Restart the Confluence server.
• After a restart, the updated cache settings are correctly applied from cache-settings-overrides.properties, and also changes can be seen in the Confluence UI.
