Windows 11 system settings only temporarily applies changes - resets upon reboot

Hi there,
My system settings are locked at a specific configuration, and any changes I make are reset upon restart. In my case, my taskbar behaviors won't save, keeping the 'Automatically hide the taskbar' option enabled despite continuously re-disabling it. A similar issue is happening with the slash lighting on the front plate of my Zephyrus G16, where it resets the lighting pattern to default upon restart.

What have I tried?
In trying to diagnose the issue myself, I've tried enabling the admin account and applying the changes through it. This did not work, which would suggest an OS issue.
To check for OS issues, I ran the sfc /scannowcommand as admin, but it only gave the output "Windows Resource Protection did not find any integrity violations".

That is where I am at now. Any help is appreciated!

Edit: Forgot to mention, I am using Windhawk to modify my Windows UI.
