Preventing server sleep during streaming

Hi!

I have a Pc dedicated to Plex server, it runs on Windows 10. The PC goes to sleep after 20 minutes.

The problem is when I watch a series like Simpson, after the buffing, the pc is considered as idle and goes to sleep after 20 minutes. Basically I need to wake up the pc between each episode.

How can I prevent this behavior ?

Thank you.

Settings - Server - General - ‘Show Advanced’ -
“Support Away Mode when preventing system sleep” <-- TICK

If your server is going to sleep, despite this checkbox being ticked, then there must be additional (3rd party?) software being installed which makes Windows ignore the ‘Away mode’.

You can also change Windows behavior.

Control Panel -> Power Options -> Change Plan Settings for selected power plan.

Change value for Put the computer to sleep.
