I don't have any other monitors I can try this on, but the main point, is that when I restart, using the program or the literal restart, and I check the Windows Resolution Area or whatever you call it, I do not see any changes.I can walk you through how I did it.
I opened CRU, and added a new detailed resolution, changed everything I needed to, and BAM!... nope, it didn't work.

You haven't given me any information like what GPU you're using or how the monitor is connected or what resolution or refresh rate you're talking about or what timing parameters you used. Is this a desktop or a laptop? Are you using DVI? Are you paying attention to pixel clock limits? If you have an NVIDIA GPU, did you set a custom extension block?

I only have a VGA cable, becuase my laptop does not have a DVI port, but
I do not know the pixel clock limit, but my laptop has easily supported 160hz to a CRT that I used to have.
My GPU is an Intel Graphics HD 4000. I change the timing to LCD standard, and I click OK, but when I check on it after the restart it is back to Manual.
