Power Options -> Reset to Balanced?

[On Holiday]

Noticed my HDDs keep spinning up when I access them lately. So I checked my Power Options and noticed it was set to "Balanced" rather than "High Performance".

Seems everytime I restart my PC it resets back to Balanced.

Any ideas? I've literally not a clue where to start
