    Hi Rendell,

    To resolve the issue, we suggest you follow the steps below.

    1. Right-click on desktop ► Power and sleep ► Additional power settings.

    2. Choose when to turn off the display.

    3. Then, change advanced power settings.

    4. Restore plan defaults.

    Let us know how it goes.

    Power and sleep settings cannot be changed

    Since a recent windows 10 update, my screen shuts off after about 1 minute and my computer sleeps after 5 min. despite trying to reset in settings multiple times. Suggestions welcome.

    Windows 10 sleep bug-goes to sleep despite no-sleep settings

    Updated one system from 8.1 to 10, and since then I'm seeing the system go to sleep within minutes of stepping away from the keyboard, despite my preferences being set to turning off the monitor in 30 minutes, and they PC (and even hard drive) never.

    I found a complain about similar behavior on 8.1 after waking it up from sleep...I never saw that, but this is occurring after it wakes up from sleep.

    Soooo this definitely is a bug, makes sleep mode worthless. Not sure if it's being caused because it wasn't a clean install, or some driver or just Windows 10...?
