I did find this solution on another forum:
Here is the solution that worked out for me:
1. Click on the windows icon
2. Type regedit
3. Right-click on regedit icon, click Run as administrator
4. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\PowerSettings\238C9FA8-0AAD-41ED-83F4-97BE242C8F20\7bc4a2f9-d8fc-4469-b07b-33eb785aaca0
5. Double click on Attributes
6. Enter number 2.
7. Go to Advanced power settings (click on Windows button, write power options, click on Power Options, in the selected plan click on the Change plan settings, click on the Change advanced power settings).
8. Click on the Change settings that are currently unavailable
9. Click Sleep, then System unattended sleep timeout, then change these settings from 2 Minutes to 20 for example.
That's it! At least it works for me...

Check your screen saver!
I had this problem too. I trouble-shot and changed every power setting I could find. However the problem was that the SCREEN SAVER in my new Windows 10 computer had come set to 1 minute! To find the screen saver (which is NOT with the power settings), open your control panel. Select Personalization. Now select Screen Saver, which may be one of the icons along the bottom of the window. Now you can set your screen saver to come on after some more reasonable amount of time.
It's kind of amazing and annoying how hidden the screen saver choices were.
