How to retain device preferences when updating software

After the latest updates, seems that random preferences have changed. Any suggestions for capturing preferences before or restoring preferences after software updates? This is a new issue. Haven’t experienced loss of preferences in previous years of updates.

Apple Watch Series 9, watchOS 11

well you give no specifics so very hard to speculate or say much...


What I can say is yes bits get flipped.
