Windows 10: Windows 10 keeps deleting the Quick Launch Bar

I have a Quick Launch Bar like this in my Windows 10 1809 installation the folder path is C:\Users\Admin\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch:



And it keeps getting deleted every time I log off and back in or when I shut my PC down and start it up again. What should I do to prevent the Quick Launch Bar from getting deleted?
