    I created my own Custom Power Plan in the Power Options settings. So for example I had gone into the advance menu and configured many different factors of how I want the computer to act when on battery versus AC. However each time I shutdown and turn on my computer the settings within the Power Options for my plan are changing back to different values.

    I had for example set my display to turn off after 10 minutes, but after a shutdown/startup it goes back to 20 minutes.

    Any idea what is causing this? It is really annoying. Has anyone else had this issue?
