Bug: Hints still show up even when disabled, especially when using another PC

[RCTFORME]

So I have an unusual bug to report: I have my main PC and a laptop, and when I play on my PC I usually don't get hints that I've alreeady seen, but when I play on my laptop, even with hints and tutorial disabled, I still get pop-up hints every time I log on.  Not sure why or how to duplicate this issue, but it is as I've described it.

And you have disabled Hints on that account also? Not super sure, but user Options might be client-side only, i.e. a file local only to the computer you're using, not your Steam account.

I have hints disabled,  but everytime I load the client on an alternate system other than my main, they still show up untill I dismiss them individually.  If I close and re-open, there they are again.

 

I double checked the options menu, and hints are disabled, but they still happen.  It's very weird since it's only on certain computers and not my main.

 

I'm starting to wonder if it's because my laptop runs windows 8.  Maybe it's having trouble updating whatever registry and/or log file that says "he already saw this hint", I can't say, I don't know enough about programming to pin-point the issue.  The worst part is, it's probably impossible to replicate on other systems since it probably has to do with mine alone xD (I imagine)
