There are advanced options as well which include 'hybrid sleep' and 'hibernation' timeouts. It would be interesting to know what they're set to on your machine?
..and you could look in the Windows Event Viewer logs to see if there's a clue in there about what's triggering the shutdown.
I think in your shoes I'd consider removing 'Power Toys'. As you say, it's not working anymore and sometimes these addons don't keep up with changes to Windows and can confuse the issue. Then I'd reset one of the power plans back to its default settings and reconfigure it to 'Never' shutdown or hibernate under both battery and plugged-in states.
Good Luck
