Hiya, even though I have changed my plugged in power options my laptop still was to go to sleep after a few minutes even though is still plugged in. Can anybody advise how to rectify this please? TIA

Can you post a picture, please, of what you have your power options set to? It would help. Thanks.
BTW, you say this is a laptop, and your specs say PC/Desktop. Please update your system specs. And it looks like you are at least 3 Windows versions behind. Could you also post what version you are running? Hold WIN KEY and Press R. Type WINVER and press enter for Version info. Thanks.
I have been looking on the Net and see that this is a problem for some. Was suggested to restore to default which I have done so will see what happens.
There are many threads here about PCs sleeping after 2 minutes e.g.
Windows 10 sleeps after 3 minutes, no matter what. Solved - Windows 10 Forums
Goes to sleep after 2 minutes??? - Windows 10 Forums

It seems most of these are older threads, and yours is, as @f14tomcat said, apparently an older build (2 major builds back).
As he asked, please
press Windows key + R, type winver and post the result.
E.g. mine is 15063.674.
Also please post a screenshot of your Update History so we can see if Windows update is functioning - unless you know you've disabled it?
