Parent Menu on Old UI are activating

We have inactivated dangling parent menus. Client reported issues many times that menus are not clickable but those are visible on UI. Menus were not clickable because those were dangling parent menu. Main question was, why these menu gets activated even though we have disabled them previously.
We analyzed this issue and found that Employee Data Screen page save reactivating these menus. We needs to correct query to activate only required menus and not all inactive menus.
