    using System.Collections;
    using System.Collections.Generic;
    using UnityEngine;

    public class PMScript : MonoBehaviour
    {
    public GameObject VolumeSettings;
    public GameObject mainSettings;
    public GameObject GraphicsSettings;
    public GameObject HitMarker_;
    public GameObject pmui;


    void Start()
    {
        Cursor.visible = false;
        Cursor.lockState = CursorLockMode.Locked;
    }

    // Update is called once per frame
    void Update()
    {
        if (VolumeSettings == true)
        {
            Cursor.visible = true;
            Cursor.lockState = CursorLockMode.None;
        }

        if (mainSettings == true)
        {
            Cursor.visible = true;
            Cursor.lockState = CursorLockMode.None;
        }

        if (GraphicsSettings == true)
        {
            Cursor.visible = true;
            Cursor.lockState = CursorLockMode.None;
        }

        if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.E))
        {
            HitMarker_.SetActive(false);
            pmui.SetActive(true);
            Cursor.visible = true;
            Cursor.lockState = CursorLockMode.None;
        }

        if (VolumeSettings == false)
        {
            if (mainSettings == false)
            {
                if (GraphicsSettings == false)
                {
                    if (pmui == false)
                    {
                        Cursor.visible = false;
                        Cursor.lockState = CursorLockMode.Locked;
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

When you compare a GameObject with a bool such as

VolumeSettings == true

What you're checking is whether or not VolumeSettings is assigned in the inspector.

If this is intentional make sure that VolumeSettings(along with the others) is not assigned if you want the cursor to be locked.

If you're instead trying to check whether the GameObject is active or not consider using the following

if(VolumeSettings.activeSelf == true)
