I haven't actually noticed a switch from bottom to top. It seems to me that there's a builtin preference for slabs (or maybe all blocks) to be placed in the bottom position.

I'm on android, by the way, so it's not just Windows 10.

Update: As mentioned in the Changelog for the 1.20.70.20 Beta and Preview (in section Features and Bug Fixes > Blocks), the fix provided in the 1.20.60.21 Preview was found to cause a different bug and had to be reverted, so presumably this bug will return in 1.20.70.20 Preview. Mojang will fix it again in an future update.

Still an issue in 1.21.10.20 Preview.
