Windows 10: My backup settings are resets after every Windows major update

I use "Backup using File History" feature to backing up folders to another drive, and after every Windows major update their settings will resets. I mean what my folders are no longer backing up after update anymore.

Is it normal behavior? If yes, so, it is possible to make some script to check my folders existence in "Backup using File History" list?

Is it possible to prevent Windows to reset many system settings to default after a major update (Fall Creators Update)?

I recently installed the Windows 10 Creators Update on many of my PCs, and as with previous "major" update releases, I noticed that many of the system settings, including things like:

• Energy options in device manager ("allow device to wake the computer from sleep"
  re-enabled for mice and keyboards which is annoying because I
  intentionally turned these off)
  
• basic mode of displaying the taskmanager and many more get reset to
  their defaults.
  

Since major updates are coming approximately twice a year, I was wondering: why does Windows do that, and is there a way to turn this behavior off? It is especially annoying if you install a computer for a novice user, and after an update you have to redo all these customization steps again.

On the other hand, many things like explorer settings stay the same, for example things like "show hidden files" or "show file extensions".

So the main questions are:

• which settings are reset after an update, and what's the criteria behind that selection, where others aren't?
  
• is there a list of the things that are reset during a
  major update for reference?
  

 

Windows 10 Creators Update to Feature New Levels of Privacy Control

Just a tiny step closer before I'll upgrade to windows 10....

 

Update to version 1511 build 10586 changed lots of settings...


With 10 when a major update comes down it's like restarting the OS from scratch and the settings will go back to as they would be from a fresh instillation. All custom settings will be reset and this is not going to change in the future. All I can suggest is keep a list of what needs to be redone and automate as much as possible.
