Power plan keeps changing automatically. Really irritating!

[Gerardo1a]

It's an HP Pavilion All-in-one-24-x025xt with Windows 10 Home edition.  I put it on performance in power plan options and then it suddenly goes to power saver plan randomly at a later time. I've tried to swith and make a custom plan, but it still keeps changing on me. This has been happening ever since I purchased computer. Please help!
