Quting from miktex.ini:

;; YOU SHOULD NOT MODIFY THIS FILE, because this file can be
;; overwritten by the MiKTeX Update Wizard. Follow this procedure, if
;; you want to modify configuration settings:
;; 1. create an empty configuration file in the local config
;;    directory, e.g.
;;      echo ;; my miktex.ini> C:\localtexmf\miktex\config\miktex.ini
;; 2. start editing the file:
;;      notepad C:\localtexmf\miktex\config\miktex.ini
;; 3. add configuration settings, then save the file
;; 4. update the file name database:
;;      initexmf -u
;; Settings specified in the local configuration file take precedence
;; over those specified in the main configuration file (i.e. this
;; file).

"initexmf --personal ..." is deprecated [1].
