Unable to keep Quick Access links in Windows 10

I accidentally removed the Desktop folder from Quick Access in File Explorer of Win10. When trying to add it back, it doesn’t stay there for long. I did try deleting the Recent folder with del /F /Q %APPDATA%MicrosoftWindowsRecentAutomaticDestinations*

But the issue persists. I can re-add the Desktop to Quick Access. After some time, the Quick Access link to my desktop disappears. but If I add a Default User desktop to QA the Default User desktop stays in there.
