Complications are disappearing or randomly being switched since 9.6 update

[estesbubba]

I updated to watchOS 9.6 a few days ago and I'm having complications disappear and even some being randomly replaced with another app complication. Anyone else seeing this? If I put all of the complications back it will happen again. I've rebooted my phone and watch several times. Very strange issue.

Stock apps or 3rd party apps?
I don’t use 3rd party apps and no issues here

I had issues also of apple apps being switch on uncommanded and sleep function not dimming the screen. I had the compass app kept reappearing when I have not used it recently and it was a complication it took me a hour to correct this after looking on the internet and figuring out to shut stop it non commanded starting when I lowered my wrist. The 2nd one is the sleep function the screen is set to go off and it will not and I finally got it to go off by activating theater mode.

I have a S6 on 9.6 and haven't had any issues like you're describing...

My series 8 switched off the medications complication after the update and required turning it off and back on again to get it back. Stock app, it hasn't done it again though.

My S7 on 9.6 keeps changing the color of the watch face and when I view the watch faces in the iOS app the don't match there either. Its weird and super annoying.

I finally got mad tonight and had the time to just unpair my S8 and then pair it again. I found that the compass app reappeared again today. My sleep function was also reset to default after I changed it to what I wanted. Finally after several attempts to return them to my personal preferences I see if that works. There was some bug in the update that would reset apps and do things not commanded by me.

After the fresh pairing with iPhone 14 Pro I still had the issue of the watch face not shutting off in sleep mode. Today I decided to try one more time and messed with the settings again. I finally succeeded in getting the watch face to shut odd in sleep mode. Not I wish I remembered what combination of adjustments I did so the next time Apple sends an update and messes this up again. I am gong to enable screen shots and do a bunch of screen shots of my settings I have so I be prepared for it next time.
