If you apply new settings to a mandatory profile after you login, of course
these settings will be dropped when you logoff again and need to be
reapplied when logging in again. It is the whole purpose of a mandatory
profile.
Update your mandatory profile when it is no longer mandatory and then make
it mandatory again.
