Description
It is completely fine that sometimes things do not go too well and BizHawk crashes for whatever reason. The problem is that unless you manually save settings or close BizHawk normally, all the settings that were changed are lost upon crash if you did not saved manually via config menu.
My suggestion is to add an option autosave settings option so that users who change settings frequently and are not very lucky with crashes do not have to worry about such issue.

Research direction
Start by tracing how settings are changed, manually saved through the config menu, and persisted when BizHawk closes normally. Define the autosave option's behavior and verify that changed settings survive a crash without requiring manual saving.
