did you mean to say -- system restore is resetting power settings?

i got one more suggestion internally - pl check whether there is domain
policy enforcing pwoer settings?

If you look in the Power Options UI, you'll see the following:

"some settings are managed by your system administrators".

again for the other query - i am not the right person. if you have specific
set of repro steps for the memory issues - i can pass to right team.
