Windows 10: Windows 10 cannot render audio after a particular time of not using an audio required file

So, this happened suddenly. My laptop started not producing audio output whatsoever; I mean from windows' sounds to local files to online Youtube videos; Youtube says "Cannot render audio, error". So, after a couple of restarts and tests, I found out that the audio works normally on every startup, but if I don't use anything that has an audio output for a specific amount of time, all my PC's audio output gets shutdown, and I have to restart the laptop in order to start the same loop again. I have tried a couple of fixes including:1 uninstalling the audio drivers intel audio driver2 checkin
