save windows 7 settings

[cold-shine]

every time i made change in my windows after restarting the windows all the changes will go back to default again.
for example changes in power settings or in windows update settings. it is driving my crazy.
my windows and drivers are up to date.

Is this a new clean build or a system you bought used from a business etc? Has this system ever been joined to a business network to where you may have inherrited rules through group policys?

What settings are you trying to adjust that are not taking?

Are you running as admin of this system or user?
