A shot in the dark. I do not have access to an MSI laptop, but I believe the more recent ones use " ECO power management " ?
I believe your problem is in the Bios, not in the OS. Can you look in the bios and see if there is an option to turn off ECO or customise the settings?

I do not even see the page you reference.

Right click on the desktop-Personalize-Screen Saver. Select Change Power settings-Change plan settings-Change advanced power settings.

All the options should be available to you there.

You have found out how to access the bios??
If not, on boot, keep pressing the del (or F" if that fails) key until the bios screen pops up.
Beyond that, if you need to know something about the set up options, I hope someone with the experience will pop into this thread. I know less than nil about MSIs
