Status

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed in the "Applies to" section.

Cause

This issue occurs because there're few settings that were read from hard-coded XML files and never stored or persisted in Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) database on being updated. Therefore, they were reading default values every time the GUI is started.
