If the console was started from a shortcut, then you're modifying the
shortcut's console settings. If it was started in a new console by
running an executable via Win+R or cmd's `start` command (e.g. `start
powershell`), then the settings are persisted in a subkey of
HKCU\Console. In this case, pinning the icon to the taskbar creates a
new shortcut that uses the default config. You'll have to customize
this pinned shortcut as well.
