Named Selection Sets changing to random selections

Hi all, quite new to 3DS Max and enjoying it so far but this is really frustrating me. I'm creating selection sets, but when I try to recall them they just come back as randomly selected polygons. This happened earlier today and I lost about 2 hours work. I started again and checked as I made them to see they were recalling correctly and all was fine. Saved it, closed it, came back and it's doing it again. Another 2 hours work gone.

 

As an example, here's the selection set I created as "windscreen". When I called it back during the same session it was fine

Then I've gone away and come back, and when I've tried to recall it again it's come back like this:

Same goes for the dozen or so other selection sets, all random, no pattern, all over the place. Am I saving them wrong? Is this some sort of error? It's absolutely infuriating!

 

Using 2017, Windows 10 (latest update).

After make selection set are you add new polygons to object? Selection Sets stores index number of polygons. When you add a new polygon order of polygons can be changed but not in Selection Set.

So Selection Sets works good only in you don't add new polygons/vertexes/edges.
