I don't know what I've done but all the sudden whenever I open blender, it starts with the preference window open too, looking like this
Even resetting blender to factory defaults doesn't change it. Why is this happening and how to get rid of it?

3$\begingroup$ Could be that you've saved the startup file while having the user preferences open. $\endgroup$– Robert Gützkow ♦Oct 30, 2019 at 15:30

If you didn't do like Robert and Robin suggested (you edited the startup file while it was open) maybe check your permissions. You will need read/write permissions in your config preferences files. That's the 'rw' below.
In Linux:
ls -la ~/.config/blender/3.0/config/ total 168 drwxr-xr-x 2 tom tom 4096 Jan 15 00:43 . drwxr-xr-x 3 tom tom 4096 Dec 15 12:57 ..
-rw-r--r-- 1 tom tom 69 Jan 15 00:43 bookmarks.txt
-rw-r--r-- 1 tom tom 382 Jan 15 00:43 platform_support.txt
-rw-r--r-- 1 tom tom 42 Jan 15 00:43 recent-files.txt
-rw-r--r-- 1 tom tom 149264 Dec 15 12:57 userpref.blend
I guess you could fix it maybe with chmod -Rv u+rw ~/.config/blender/3.0/config/ potentially.
