Pinned items won't stay on Start Menu

Hello I'm on Windows Pro 11, version 23H2 (OS build 22631.3235).
Any change I make to the pinned items on the start menu will not stay after a reboot.
If I remove one (or more) of the 7 default ones (see pic), they just come back after reboot.
And anything that I add gets removed after reboot.

Can anyone help? 

  • A simple restart of Windows Explorer can refresh the Start Menu and fix temporary glitches.

    Steps:

    1. Press Ctrl + Shift + Esc to open Task Manager.
    2. Find Windows Explorer in the list under the Processes tab.
    3. Right-click on it and select Restart.
