Note 5 Does Not Stay In Silent Or Vibrate After Marshmallow Update

Problem: Just upgraded to Marshmallow from Sprint. I had a smooth transition but I have one issue. When I set my ringer to mute or vibrate, after about 5 minutes or so it switches back to full ringer. I will reset it to silent or vibrate and it will happen again. So I restart my device, set it to silent or vibrate and it happens again. Any suggestions? Before the Marshmallow update I didn’t have thi s problem. Thanks!

Related problem: I finally got the marshmallow update yesterday and did the install which I’m still learning but I’ve now noticed that I’ve lost the mute function on my phone. Due to work related issues I keep my phone on mute 24/7 but since doing the update the phone switches from mute to full volume setting on its on at random intervals.
