Have you checked the event log to see if you were logged out, or the system had an unexpected reboot?

This is most likely happening due to a hidden power option called System unattended sleep timeout
. On my machine it was set to 2 minutes, which was mighty annoying, as it would cause behavior described by OP (sleep, wake-up, login screen, Event Viewer saying: "The system is entering sleep; Sleep Reason: System Idle"). You have to enable this option in registry before being able to change it.
From http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_10-windows_install/windows-10-keeps-going-into-sleep-after-1-minute:
- Click on the windows icon
- Type regedit
- Right-click on regedit icon, click Run as administrator
- Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetControlPowerPowerSettings238C9FA8-0AAD-41ED-83F4-97BE242C8F207bc4a2f9-d8fc-4469-b07b-33eb785aaca0
- Double click on Attributes
- Enter number 2.
- Go to Advanced power settings (click on Windows button, write power options, click on Power Options, in the selected plan click on the Change plan settings, click on the Change advanced power settings).
- Click on the Change settings that are currently unavailable
- Click Sleep, then System unattended sleep timeout, then change these settings from 2 Minutes to 20 for example.
This solved the issue for me.
Not think so. It go away with windows 10 updates, after some times(new update?) apear again.
