Apple Music Sync Library keeps turning off on Mac

Apple Music for some reason keeps disabling the "Sync Library" option on Mac when the app is quit and reopened or when the computer itself is restarted. Any reason I need to keep enabling this option manually?

2019 MacBook Pro 13", macOS Ventura 13.3.1, Apple Music version 1.3.4.56

In Music Settings, this box unchecks itself...

Apple Music app keeps crashing Mac OS 12.6 The Music app on my MBP was not set to Sync Library. When I checked this box in Music > Preferences, the app crashed within a few seconds. Restarting the app only results in a nearly instant crash. When I start the app in Safe Mode, it works just fine, except it is not actually syncing my playlists with my other devices. It says it has temporarily disabled any visual plugins that I may have installed, but I haven't installed any. The Library > iTunes > iTunes Plug-Ins folder is empty. When I try to uncheck the Sync Library when Music is open in Safe Mode, I hit 'save' but re-opening Preferences reveals that the box is still checked. I can uncheck other boxes and these changes are saved. Only the 'Sync Library' refuses to allow itself to be unchecked. When I tried to delete and reinstall Music, it refused to let me delete the app either by command-delete or dragging it to the trash. And yes, I rebooted. I have two goals: I want Music to run normally, and I want it to sync downloads and changes to my playlists to my other devices. (I do get instant syncing between my 2010 iMac and my phone--just my MBP won't sync.) I am running Mac OS 12.6 Monterey. Thanks for any help you can provide!

Updating Cloud Music Library Stuck My Music app has been stuck updating the cloud music library for days on my iMac which is running Ventura 13.0.1. The solutions proffered in prior iterations of this problem mentioned going into the settings of Music and adjusting the Sync options but those options are not available on the Ventura version of Music. Restarting has not helped.

Apple music won't stay synced. Sync Library button won't stay checked. Every time I close the app, next time I open it the box is unchecked and I have to re-sync my entire library. I've tried logging out/in of my apple account. I have not exceeded the limit of activations. Any idea what's happening? Mac OS 12.5.1 Mac Mini M1 2020

Happening to me as well. Sync Library defaults to off anytime I restart my computer (16" Macbook Pro late-2019, Sonoma 14.5).
