Microsoft Edge not remembering personalisation settings

[Mikeengage]

I like all the stuff that MS Edge puts on the start up screen - but it doesn't seem to remember my settings.

It always gets the weather from the wrong location, so I set that to be manual. Each time I open it, it flips to automatic

I hide a number of news sources I am not interested in, but again, when I restart, those news sources are back!

Frustrating

I have also been having the same issue for over six months now. It's almost like whenever there is a browser update, then my preferences get set back to default. And, being Chromium-based, Edge has frequent updates.
