Parallels with Windows 10 VM automatically shuts down after 30-40 min

Question

I have Parallels on my Macbook Pro. I'm have Windows 10 VM inside it and few month ago I noticed that it's shutting down by itself when I'm working in it. It's very annoying so I searched logs and found this one:

I think it might be related to my issue.

The issue is that the VM itself is timing out. You have an Evaluation Edition only, the Parallels page says "using an evaluation virtual machine".

The VM is actually from Microsoft.

I cannot find the exact details but from my memory Microsoft evaluation VMs time out after 30 minutes but other google results suggest that could be after the 90 days you are allowed.
