How to keep Premiere Pro from forgetting where my media is

[Am_I_Lame?]

A few days ago, Premiere Pro began forgetting where my project media is whenever my PC (Windows 10 x64) goes to sleep, and displays the dialog below on wake-up.  I haven't tried telling it to look for the files and instead just close the project and reopen it and everything's fine.  How can I keep it from doing this?

Where are your files stored: internal or external drive.

[Am_I_Lame?]

External, USB HDD.

[Ann Bens]

Do you disconnect the drive after shutdown.

[Am_I_Lame?]

No, it's always connected to the USB port.

Make sure that the drive is not set to sleep.

Where is that setting?
