This is a common misunderstanding about how masks work. Most likely you are looking at the mask overlay, and have chosen an overlay that shows the background in black. That is not an adjustment however, it is just a way to view the mask. That is why it doesn't 'save' to your photo. There is nothing to save, because you have 't made an actual adjustment to the background.

Can you please share some more details?

Exact version of LrC?

If v11, do you see the mask? Is the mask not stored, or the developments you are applying?

Also, a screenshot may be helpful.

Agreed, there's not enough to go on.

When you say Background, do you mean that you've used Select Subject and the used Invert? Or is it a Select Sky?

using the mask tool I used select sky to change the color of the sky. I'm
having trouble saving this specific task.
