Windows 10: auto correct

I have a number of "auto correct" items and every time I receive an update most of them have to be re-established-why does that happen and how can I remedy this

Is there a way to selectively ignore spelling auto-correct in one-off instances?

Another way: allow the auto-correct to take place, then tap on "Fast". The first suggestion should be the word that you originally wrote.

Also, if you always want "Tast" instead of "Fast", you can add "Tast" to the phone's dictionary. Once you have "Tast" somewhere, tap on it, then in the suggestions list, tap on "+ Tast" (it should be at the start of the suggestions list).

If you want to avoid the auto-correct in the first place, make the keyboard disappear (tap somewhere else on the screen, press the back button, etc.), then tap back to where you're composing text and continue.
