Windows 10 - Sleep Works But Only if 5 Minutes or Less

What about the Troubleshooting tutorial steps here:

https://www.makeuseof.com/tag/fix-windows-10-sl...

I've never seen at least one them not be successful.

I had suggested first to set Display at 0, Sleep at 1 minute and Hibernate at 2 minutes and then after each step sit back to observe. I have rarely had to work all the way through the list.

Absolute thoroughness is required when troubleshooting Sleep, skipping nothing and asking back if you need any help to complete a step. We often find out later that the fix was the skipped step, so please do not skip any. If you need help performing any step
I will help.

 

Display and sleep timers

Does anyone know how to fix sleep timers in windows 10. My problem is the settings under my current power plan are set to turn off display after 30 minutes and to put PC to sleep after 1 hour. I am trying to change these settings to 10 minutes to turn
off display and 30 minutes to go to sleep which is the default settings for the plan. I've tried resetting the plan settings to their default, but windows always reverts back to 30 minutes and 1 hour. I've tried changing the settings manually under the advance
options but it always reverts back 30 minutes and 1 hour. The display will turn off at the time I set it to, but the PC will not go into sleep mode at my preferred settings and when I go back to the power plan and look at the settings it has reverted back
to 30 minutes and 1 hour. This PC seems to think it knows what is best for me, but a machine doesn't rule the roost in my household. Is there a fix for this. Thanks R.K.

 

windows 10 sleep resets to 1 minute

every few days my desktop (Dell alienware, windows 10 pro, version 1803, os 17134.285) resets the power and sleep setting, "Sleep" to 1 minute. This is visible on the power & sleep panel (and the computer does sleep after a minute).

This is a serious problem because I often work connected to remote computers and when the computer sleeps, those connections are lost and take a long time to manually reset. This is the computer sleeping, not the monitor.

I've set this multiple times to 4 hours. I've set all power plans to 4 hours sleep. I've set the screensaver to 9999 minutes AND turned the screen saver off.

There is nothing unusual installed or configured on the machine.

What can cause the sleep timer to change?
