In Windows 10 Pro how can I permanently set the "Power and Sleep" Screen setting to NEVER through the REGISTRY?

For several months now my computer is changing my Screen Power and Sleep value to 15 minutes every time I restart, reboot and power on my computer. I have endlessly tried fixing windows, ran scans to no avail.

I have never changed this computer's registry values BUT I am experienced in changing, backing up and restoring registry files.

Please tell me where I can change this setting (Screen - When plugged in, turn off after) from 15 minutes to NEVER in the registry. Below is the screen shot of the settings that my computer KEEPS defaulting to, which I NEED to change.

    Not sure about the registry but you can use this command in PowerShell to set the sleep and screen shutoff. The monitor-timeout is for the screen and the standby-timeout is for sleep. Change the values to what you want then copy and paste the command into PowerShell and hit enter.

    Powercfg /Change monitor-timeout-ac 45

    Powercfg /Change monitor-timeout-dc 45

    Powercfg /Change standby-timeout-ac 0

    Powercfg /Change standby-timeout-dc 0
