Windows 10: Power Management Options

Hello, i am having an issue with a Dell all in one that i purchased recently. i use this computer as the main computer of my network where certain shared files are located. i have the power setting to turn off the display after 10 minutes but for the system i have it set to never. howewer, it seems that after 10 minutes and the display goes off, the network no longer sees that computer until i wake it up. i have another computer that has the same settings and i dont have this problem. for the newer systems, when turning off the display is this the same as the system and i would need to set both to never shut?
