Render distance keeps getting reset to 95/max chunks instead of the recommended or previous setting set by the player
I'm unsure on recreation but here are the steps I took leading to the problem:
Update to 1.71 through Microsoft store
Open minecraft, render distance was set to 95/max chunks at this point
Turn down render distance
Close and reopen minecraft
Render distance should be back at 95/max chunks
