The setting to fix this is “System unattended sleep timeout” in advanced power settings. (Control Panel\Hardware and Sound\Power Options\Edit Plan Settings > change advanced power settings).
However this setting is hidden because Microsoft wants waste our time and make our lives miserable.

Full instructions:

hit ok, close registry editor.
Right click the start button > power options > Additional power settings > Change Plan Settings > change advanced power settings
