I ran some checks on RAM on my machine and discovered this error "Error: (06/14/2020 12:45:54 PM) (Source: MariaDB) (User: ) Description: mysqld.exe: Table '.\test\wp_usermeta' is marked as crashed and should be repaired"

I have local WP install on localhost. Does this error somehow impact the fact that I am unable to stop auto add of new pages to primary menu even if I have 'Automatically add new top-level pages to this menu' unchecked?

EDITS:

function.php child theme

   function archive_menu() {
      register_nav_menu('archive_menu',__( 'Archive' ));
    }
    add_action( 'init', 'archive_menu' );

index.php child theme

<?php
  wp_nav_menu(
    array ( 'theme_location'=> 'archive_menu')
);?>

I can't see how, because the wp_usermeta table contains the metadata about your users. The menu items are stored in the wp_posts table, and the menu options (including the status of the "Automatically add new top-level pages") is stored in wp_options.

I would definitely recommend that you repair the crashed table, though, because it's likely having an impact on your WordPress site. See this question and its answers for advice.

Edit

Your posted code looks right to me, and if you've assigned the menu properly then it should be working. I'm not sure what the problem might be. Does the menu work properly in a default theme?
