Energy saver settings wont save

Since we updated to 10.12 Sierra our Energy Saver Settings won't save.

We set them and then the next time we boot up they are back to the default settings.

What are we missing? We've tried various things but nothing seems to work.

Any help would be appreciated.

Mac mini, iOS 10

Hello MyMac8MyPC,

Thanks for reaching out to the Apple Support Community. I know how important it is to keep you Mac running efficiently and the energy saver options are great way to do that. Before we go to far it's always a good idea to back up your Mac using Time Machine. If you don't already have a backup and would like to make one have a look at this article for the steps to do so:

Use Time Machine to back up or restore your Mac

Next I'd recommend resetting your NVRAM (aka PRAM) which stores some of the settings on your Mac. This article will guide you through that process:

If the behavior persists, or you run into any trouble, the entire community is here to help.
Best Regards
