I've had this happen when using the laptop to control a 3d printer. W 10 shut down after a couple of hours, seemed to think nothing was going on. I'm all for OS's becoming more intelligent, but W 10 is a bit too enthusiastic at times.

It appears to be set by the manufacturer, yours could be set to 2 hours, if you follow Rays post above you can alter it to something more sensible.

There used to be a little script called 'keepalive' that we used to run in the background which simulated a mouse movement every little while specifically to stop machines shutting down ... don't know if it still exists though.

This is similar to Mac and OSX which you can't stop shutting down, so there is a free app called Caffeine which is pretty much a must have and just keeps it all alive and kicking.
