Windows 10: Multimedia Settings is not listed in advanced power options

Windows won't turn my display off or go to sleep anymore (since 2 weeks or so). I did not change anything and I don't know since when my advanced power option settings don't have the Multimedia stuff anymore...

I tried to get them back by doing this https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/100615-add-remove-when-playing-video-power-options-windows.html, but it didn't work.

I want my projector and displays to turn off, damnit...

I also checked "powercfg /requests" in command promt, but it says there is nothing requesting to powercfg...

Any suggestions?

Win 10 tablet - 'Multimedia Settings' are missing from Power Options

My Win 10 and 7 desktops have same/similar choices when you go into the 'Advanced Settings' under 'Power Options' specifically, there is a 'Multimedia Settings' item where I can tell the machine to stay on when playing video/audio. Neither my cheapo Win
10 Asus tablet or my not-at-all-cheapo Win 10 Surface Pro 3 have the 'Multimedia Settings' item in that menu list, both have 'Battery' as the final item.

All I want to be able to do is either stream internet audio or play audio (VLC for both) and not have to manually wake the machine up every 5 minutes without having to create a Power Plan that just leaves EVERYTHING on forever that I have to switch to.
I want it work like the desktop does where, if any media is playing, no hibernation/sleep.
