You use roaming profiles and it keeps loosing the settings, if it were me, I'd give them a static desktop, store the profile on there and then assign a specific desktop to each of them.

Then promptly ditch roaming profiles, they are a tragic waste of space and rarely work as expected. I've never worked at a company where they don't have issues. Hence folder redirection.

These workers boot from PVS server

One golden image the workers diskless so where they can save local profiles ?
You are using UPM which is not roaming profiles, they are a third-party product
If you do have a roaming profile path set in AD or GPO and you are also using UPM, remove the roaming profile path immediately. UPM will override this and if you have both set they will fight like raccoons in a bag.

I don't use rooming profile
I am using Citrix profiles management

And I don't use gpo I am using policy in delivery controller plus folder redirection also via policy from delivery controller

So I don't know how i can give XenDesktop User  local profiles if they boot from golden image

The only option to give the remote pc configuration but this is impossible in my case

To give 60 users 60 remote pc
If you're using Citrix UPM you're not using roaming profiles. To see how to roam Windows 10 Start Tiles properly using UPM, see this article
