Advanced Performance settings saves until restart

I have seen this issue before in Windows 7 but this is happening on one of my Windows 10 computers. I want to have my settings set to Adjust for best appearance but when I restart the computer, it'll be set to custom but all of my settings will still have a check mark in the check boxes but not all of them will take affect until I change it back to adjust for best performance which I think is only a couple of options not taking affect. Is there a way I can fix this.

Are you logged into the administrating account of your computer? Just sounds like you're a non-admin and it's only temporary until the computer restarts.

I am an administrator but still doesn't work.

Try this. Start > Settings > Ease of Access > Other Options. Make sure Animations and Windows background is turned ON! Ease of access is by default, a priority over any settings you may change.

It's turned on but still doesn't save performance settings.

If you find it, back-up your registry files. And then delete it.

If you don't find it, then it's a different problem. Just need to keep narrowing down and eliminating possible problems.

Hi ZeldaYoshi,

I did not see if you perhaps tried to use the Custom option and just put the marks in what options you wanted.

A little while ago somebody posted an issue where they were unable to keep the Adjust For Best Performance settings to stick. If I recall, they were only using the custom section, and they were unchecking all of the boxes. When they re-booted, the boxes were filled in again. I think when they just went though and selected the Adjust For Best Performance option, the setting remained and the problem was solved.

I realize that your problem is slight different, but it might be worth a try.

I set it back to adjust for best performance before I took that screenshot but the problem is probably fixed. I did an in-place upgrade of Windows 10 and it seemed to fix the problem. But thanks everyone for helping.
