How do I prevent my laptop from shutting down when it's only supposed to be in standby?

That happened with the previous one and now with this one too.

Both Win 10, different manufacturers.

Happened all the time, regardless of whether I pressed standby or it switched off automatically after a long period of inactivity.

Does that only happen after a certain time? So initially the computer sleeps, later it switches off completely? Then it's because of hidden settings deep down in the umpteenth level of the energy saving plans. https://www.swr.de/blog/fragandreas/2018/03/09/problem-rechner-faehrt-aus-energiesparmodus-herunter/
