Welcome to hwf

If you select Programs, does the button Apply lit up? If so then try to click on Apply and then OK.

Try and see if you can change it in Safe MODE

When i go into safe mode it is set to programs. But when i restart into normal mode it is back to system cache.

If thats the case the look which programs are starting on the PCs startup. Try and stop one by one and see if it tells you which program is doing it
