    Hi,
    Here are some general suggestions and check you could have a look at:
    1.Kindly check the mainboard driver and verify if any updates existed.

    2.Kindly check event logs and find out if any details have been captured that trigger the sleep mode of computer
    Windows Logs--->System-->Power-Troubleshooter" and "Kernel-Power" related logs.
    (Event ID 1 and 42 for Wake and Sleep)

    3.Please also check if anything configured for the power setting.
    Run CMD with admin privilege, powercfg /batteryreport
    The report will be saved under C:\Windows\System32 as battery-report.

    @Jenny Yan-MSFT , thanks for the response.

    1. I did check Lenovo support (motherboard / storage / power management) and Windows Update to make sure everything is updated.
    2. A quick check in Windows Events doesn't give me any hints. No error, very few Event #1 & #42; but quite a number of Event 506 (Idle Timeout).
    3. I did use powercfg to check a few reports, so far no findings...
