When selecting Pickit 3, it does select, but when reopening the dialog, it seems to have defaulted back to pickit 2.

The compiler indicates that pickit 2 is not found. This is the reason I explored the selection.

What to do?

With PICkit3 selected,
Does the default compiler tick stay ticked for PICkit3 or unticks itself and tick has changed to PIkit2?

It looks to be selected - I tried others too, but the system remained as PICKIt 2. I did try the PIC tree, but my first attempt was the 16 bit since I am using a 16 bit device.
I hit the "Default Compiler for platform PIC16" and it seems to stay on Pickit3.

Not so clear -Anyhow, I can't get the pickit3 to run. ERROR: GetShortPathName(): The system cannot find the path specified.

I think I understand that the pickit 3 is supposed to be in a path, but I don't find that path. I thought it was a simple USB driver thing.

What I do is add my own PIKkit3 entry with the path of where ipecmd.exe is located.
For example, if MPLABX version is 5.45 then you need programmer location as:
C:\Program Files\Microchip\MPLABX\v5.45\mplab_platform\mplab_ipe\ipecmd.exe:

This worked okay in v8 - but doesn't seem to in v9 (at least changing USBTINY to USBasp doesn't work - at least in Arduino land
