Windows 10: Power options change by itself

I always change my power options from windows high performance to my custom power options every time i turn on my laptop and today i just left and lock my computer for about 2 minutes when i go back i notice the power options change by itself to high performance. At first i thought my laptop was restarting but its not (checked through event viewer). And this only happened once, i try to lock my laptop again but my power options still same. This is first time happened and i have no idea what cause it.
