Why doesn't App.exe.config update when using My.Settings.Save() or MySettings.Default.Save()?

I've been chasing my tail and several SO articles around App.exe.config files. Everything I read stipulates that it indeed should be included with my application, even for a WPF app.

So, when I copy the files to another folder location and attempt to use it, I'm not seeing any update in the App.exe.config file.

Instead, I'm seeing it update in C:\users\username\AppData\Local\AppName_Url_vwndydm5awsw44xgnthq0lonv15jmpyh\#.#.#.#\user.config

Granted, these settings are setup as "User" settings, even though the App.exe.config file has these as original values.

What on earth do I need to do for it to update App.exe.config instead of the AppData file?

Using VB.Net for .Net 3.5.

Sample:

Private Sub DecreaseFont_Click(sender As Object, e As RoutedEventArgs) Handles Decrease_Font.Click
    MySettings.Default.Reload()
    'My.Settings.Reload()
    Dim currentSize As Integer = My.Settings.Font_Size
    Dim newSize As Integer = currentSize - 2

    If newSize >= 10 Then
      FunLabel.FontSize = newSize
    End If
    MySettings.Default.Font_Size = newSize
    'My.Settings.Font_Size = newSize
    MySettings.Default.Save()
    'My.Settings.Save()
    '    My.Settings.Reload()

End Sub
