Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

I use the Steam Machine as a HTPC. I disabled the sleep options in the power settings. However when the device wakes from sleep or is restarted, these settings revert, meaning that when watching a movie/episode, the SM will enter sleep mode after 10 minutes of no input.

Steps for reproducing this issue:
  1. Disable Sleep settings in Power menu
  2. Reboot device
  3. Sleep settings have reverted to 10 minute sleep.

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by reproducing the issue through the Power menu on SteamOS Beta, including both restart and wake from sleep, then trace where the sleep settings are saved and restored. Done means disabled sleep settings remain disabled after both actions.
