Apps at homescreen get removed after using Maximum Energy Saving Mode on Samsung S8.

Question

Hello.

After using Maximum Energy Saving Mode and then turning it off my app icons on home screen get removed, only widgets stay in there. Also the apps get sorted alphabetically, not how I set them to be.
I have Samsung S8, using One UI launcher.
The problem started to happen recently, as I haven't had that one before and I used the power saving mode.
Only two apps icons stay on homescreen, others get removed after using the saving mode.

Not sure what I am supposed to do.

Thanks

Perhaps a simple way is to do a factory reset after a full data backup.
