You just need to enable the Evening Session in the Chart Settings:
Chart Session Times: Use Evening Session (optional) (Chart >> Chart Settings >> Session Times)

Any idea why everyday when I open my chartbook, it seems to turn off the evening session on my equities charts?

You should not have an issue when you open a Chartbook, but if you are changing between symbols on a single chart, then when you load a new symbol the information for that symbol is going to load for the Chart Settings, and by default, the stock symbols do not have the Evening Session enabled.

Assuming that the issue is when changing symbols, then you have a few choices on how to handle this.

The first option is to enable the option for Chart >> Chart Settings >> Symbol >> Do Not Change Symbol Settings for Chart on Symbol Change. But you need to be careful with this, as this means that none of the symbol differences will get loaded. Refer to the following:
Chart Settings: Do Not Change Symbol Settings for Chart on Symbol Change (Chart >> Chart Settings >> Symbol >> Symbol Settings menu)

The other option is to setup Symbol Settings for the symbols you use and set the Evening Session to be enabled. Then when you change to that symbol, it will have those hours automatically setup for you. Refer to the following for how to edit symbol settings:
