I am not sure if I have power plan issues, but I already configured the power and sleep setting myself according my needs. However this problem still persist.
The main issue here is that the PC will automatically goes into sleep mode (or standby, or hibernation, I'm not sure) just a few seconds after finish playing videos. I guess it's about 10 secs or less. Happens when I finish watching on internet streams (Chrome) or MPC-HC. Sometimes okay (I think), but it happens quite regularly.
This is annoying since I usually watch shows from my bed like a lazy bum and I had to quickly get up to awake the PC. I'm pretty sure this never happened before and I have never changed anything weird on the power plan.
I'm pretty sure I set the PC to sleep only after 30 mins, which is long enough.
Sleep works normally if I was not playing any videos. The desktop will go to sleep after 30mins.

Let me know what you guys think. And perhaps share your power setting.
Tried reflashing to the 2 previous BIOS files and running at default, and the result is still the same... so I think BIOS is not the problem here. There must be something I've been missing in Windows.

Windows 10 goes into standby or hibernate or sleep, right after finish watching videos
