    New Win 10 Pro, shutting down after long idle time


    Last week I purchased a new Dell Inspiron 3583 with Windows 10 Home (S). I have removed the "s" restriction and upgraded to Pro. I have set 'sleep' when on A/C power to 'never'. Yet, when it is idle for several hours - like overnight - it appears to be powered off. It doesn't respond to mouse or keyboard touch like it would if it were in 'sleep' mode (which it shouldn't be anyway) but does instantly respond to pressing the power key. I don't know if I'm looking at a software issue in Windows or a bios issue with the hardware. This particular model of Dell Inspiron has no LED indicators of the power status of the machine, so it appears that the only way to tell if it is simply screen off or sleep or power off is to actually test it. Since I need to leave this machine at home and vpn to it when traveling, this power-off is nearly a show-stopper.
