Windows 10: Every update resets my Start menu pins preferences

I like my start menu having a maximum number of apps pinned to the start menu, with a minimum amount of space for recommendations. With every major and often with minor updates, this preference is automatically re-set to the Default selection, and I have to go in and change it. Is there a way to make my preference stick?
