Windows 10 disconnects network when locking pc

Since a few weeks it seems that my laptop, after being locked for a few minutes, will kill the network connection. Every time I return to my it after it being locked for a while, I see apps having to reconnect, or tasks that have failed because lack of network connectivity. It happens on both wired and wireless connections.

Is there a way to disable this behavior? I've looked in Windows power settings, and NIC settings, but haven't found anything.

I'm working on a Surface Pro 3 with Windows 10 version 1703 build 15063.413

How long have you been away from the device? Could it be that it switches to standby/hibernation?

Have you checked wireless network Adapter in power setting. You can also find the setting related to your issue in Wireless or Ethernet Adapter Configurations. i.e Power Management

Standby/hibernation is set to 'Never'. Also the setting to disconnect network when in standby is set to 'Never'

This may be because of a "System unattended sleep timeout" setting that is normally hidden, and that causes a locked computer to sleep even when the "Sleep" setting is set to "Never".

See this answer to a similar question.

Per the link above, the System Unattended Sleep Timeout setting is made available in your power settings if you set the DWORD attribute of the following registry key to "2":
