Android Studio persistence on Windows

I am trying to make an IntelliJ plugin compatible with Android Studio. Without changing anything, I am able to run on Ubuntu 15.04 without errors. However, when running on Windows 8.1 or 10, my applicationService PersistentStateComponent returns a null state.

How is Android Studio suppose to treat its persistence files? I can't find them in /config/options/. 

How do I use PersistentStateComponent in Android Studio?

Thanks
