Windows 10: Stopping auto shutdown of desktop when first switched on

This is an annoying problem, and I've tried Advanced Power Options etc which doesn't cover this. After checking weather, emails etc, I often go do other things for half an hour. When I come back, the system has switched off! Can you please give me clear instructions how to STOP this!

stop auto-switching to another desktop


hi,

i have desktop 1 and desktop 2
i have 2 excel files in desktop 1 and 1 excel file in desktop 2
i open another excel file in desktop 1 so there would now be 2 excel file open in desktop 1
then when i close 1 excel file in desktop 1
it will automatically switch to an excel file which is in desktop 2
i understand it switches to another desktop when there are no more excel files open in the current desktop
but i still have 1 excel file open in desktop 1
how can i stop windows from auto switching?
its really getting annoying

 

auto shutdown

Still not helpful with the steps given above. I cannot find the auto shutdown problem.

I believe my Dell Unit has been installed with Advance System Care 9 with its auto shutdown but it was already uninstalled can no longer identify what makes it auto shutdown still.
