PMS streaming stops due to sleep (Windows 11)

Hi,
I had a PMS running on a Windows 7 PC, and I had no problem with it: it never went to sleep when I was watching a video on my TV.
I’ve recently built a new PC on Windows 11, and now even if PMS is streaming a video, my PC goes to sleep and thus if I watch a video on my TV, it is halted due to server error.
I’ve checked “Support Away Mode when preventing system sleep” but it does not seem to be working.
Any idea on how to prevent my PC to go to sleep when PMS is streaming something ?
Thanks in advance and have a nice day !

For those wondering, it seems that PowerToys “Awake” was the culprit. I disabled it (since I don’t really need it) and Plex is working just fine, keeping my PC awake :+1:
