When I apply changes to my network settings using gnome control center, the changes are written to the proper keyfile in folder /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections but requires a reboot to activate. Restart of NetworkManager service does not help but when I make changes using nmtui the changes are immediate and do not require a reboot.
How do I make changes to my network settings in gnome control center without a reboot?

What is it _exactly_ you are doing? (Changed which setting where, what do you do in nmtui?)
Is your system up-to-date? (pacman -Syu)
Have you checked if things work when you disable your Gnome extensions?
Did this issue start to occur recently? If so, post your pacman.log.

Thank you for your help with my network setting problem. Fresh install of latest Arch.
As a test, I changed the static ip from 192.168.2.2 to 192.168.2.3 in Network Settings.
The changed is reflected in /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/Wired Connection 1. (unable to reproduce this, the change only shows in Network Settings)
ip a shows 192.168.2.2 needs reboot to activate
When I use nmtui to change the static ip, it is immediate and

Unfortunately I am not overly familiar with the inner workings of NetworkManager, but this (albeit a slightly different issue than yours) suggests that there are issues with the GUI tools applying changes to your static IP configuration (i.e. the changes are correctly stored in whatever format NM uses to keep track of your network configuration but those changes are then ignored, not applied).
Try the workaround explained in the wiki article; if it allows you to apply your changes I think we can (with high confidence) conclude that you are encountering the mentioned bug.
