Windows 10: Wireless display timeout and/or disconnecting after inactivity

I am using a Samsung TV as a wireless display, and I am extending my desktop display to the TV. I have changed the sleep settings on my desktop monitor to not time out, however the wireless display TV continues to time out and disconnect after a certain period of inactivity. Is there a way to prevent the wireless display from timing out? I might also add that I am not a system administrator and cannot change any adapters or access device manager.

Wireless display adapters keep disconnecting

Hi Luke,

It's possible that the devices aren't fully compatible, causing the disconnection. We'd like to learn more about your concern so that we could provide the proper resolution. We just have a few questions for you:

• Just to confirm, are you using a Microsoft Wireless Display Adapter, or is it a third-party device?
• Did you make any changes to the computers before this started happening?
• Which build version of Windows 10 are using on your computers? To check, click
  Start, type winver, and press Enter. For example, 14393.1066.
• Does it get disconnected when using a particular program?
• Did you receive any error messages? If yes, please post a screenshot.
• Since you mentioned you've done some troubleshooting steps, can you list them all so that we could move on to the next ones?
