Sleep mode does not disable on Windows 10

I have the same issues:

• I have all the updates.
• I disabled sleep in every way possible (please don't offer instructions on how to disable sleep...I already did this).
• After about two minutes of inactivity, the computer enters sleep mode.
• One way that I found to prevent this from happening is by running Amazon's music app and a playlist. While the playlist is running, the computer doesn't enter sleep mode.

EDIT: I will add that sleep worked perfectly fine in Windows 8.1 before I upgraded to 10. That's why I'm 99.99% convinced it's related to my upgrade and think a clean install will fix it.
