Windows Will Not Save System Settings

Asked By Marco P Hamm 130 points N/A Posted on - 02/06/2015

I am using Windows 2012 Server and can not get it to save any system settings. The only time it will is in Safe mode but when I try to boot back up normally. All of the changes are gone. Do I need to wipe everything and start over again?

Windows Will Not Save System Settings

When your computer can not save system settings, there is a problem with your CMOS. It is a memory chip that houses setting configurations and is powered by the onboard battery. The CMOS is reset and loses all custom settings in case the battery runs out of energy, Additionally, the system clock resets when the CMOS loses power. This is what is causing your system settings not to be saved and you need to replace it.
