[QUOTE="Rod, post: 1918336, member: 204485"] There is possibly a problem with your permissions in the system permissions folder. In the ancient past running Disk Utility > Repair Permissions used to fix some problems. Today just running Disk Utility > First Aid [I]should[/I] "Repair" Permissions (to default settings). That would be the first thing I'd try. With the newer macOS versions Permissions are supposed to be "fixed" when the device is shut down and rebooted. Hopefully the system will retain your current settings for next time but if not do get back to these forums. [/QUOTE]
