    Do you have any other software on your machine that controls power options such as ASUS power-4-gear, if so remove them.
    It would also help to know the manufacturer and model of your notebook.
    Also you could test by creating a new user account (from control panel) and login with it to see if the issue persists.

    JOSEA beat me to it! If you don't have another piece of software taking priority over your power plan in lieu of Windows power management, then try making a new Windows account and see if you can save the changes in the new account.
