I would recommend doing a clean boot just to make sure they're no apps causing that issue and then I would set the power mode to High Performance at then set the sleep settings in the control panel and the settings app to never for sleep and turning off the display.
If you still have the issues and you want to reset it backup all your data and then reformat windows or do a fresh start in the windows defender app.
