Windows 10: Doubts about csenabled behaviuor over different laptops

Hi, i have recently purchased 2 laptops, an acer spin 3 and an asus zenbook. I ususally create oj every machine custom power plans, for example one called "download" which is essentially a low consumption plan with 1 minute screen turning off but preventing PC from ever going to sleep, and that's for when i need to download big files without worrying that it might lose connection. That said, the acer behaves like it should, like all the other many laptops i had, while the asus presented some problems. Firstly, there was only balanced option, so i followed guides like this https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/two-power-plans-disappeared/bf9644cd-e557-436f-ae9c-4f15d6baada4 , telling me yo regedit csenabled to 0. That let me fully edit power plan preferences (many of them were disabled before, or at least hidden) and create high performance and low consumption power schemes. But if i create a "download"-like profile, whenever the screen turns off (after a minute, as i wanted) the PC goes sleeping anyway, even if i told him to never hibernate, sleep, or whatever, in addition to preventing things like SSD to turn off before like 15 minutes. So my question is how is this possible. I can also add that this is one of the few laptops that came with a manufacturer power plan scheme ("Asus recommended"), so maybe they tweaked some options that i am unaware of. I have an app called myasus installed, which lets me choose how i want to drain battery (e.g. stop charge at 80%), but i dont think it interfers with my desire.

I am currently running the last version of windows 10, which should be like 1809 i think, but given that i own 2 more laptops with the same version, the issue doesn't lie in updates for sure.

Thanks for help.
