    We deal with this same issue and came to this conclusion - since your Desktop file is consideed the MASTER file when you publish it to Web it doesn't save over the Desktop file. 

     

    So, if you are wanting slicers to stay when exporting your reports to Powerpoint you can save off a copy in web with the desired filter/slicer settings, and then export to powerpoint. (We just made a copy in web that we constantly update the slicers/filters on)

     

    Unfortunately we haven't been able to find a way to export to Powerpoint when filters are applied without saving in web.
