    Desktop stay awake during backup


    Hi. I look after a number of PC's for my flying club and I back them up on a weekly basis during the night. Two desktops have backup drives in them which enables local backup but two laptops don't and as a consequence, I back them up to the desktop backup drives over WiFi.


    The problem with that is keeping the desktops awake while the laptop backs up. I've tried scheduling a wakeup using Task Scheduler in the desktop and by sending a Wake On Lan command from the laptops which works but the problem is of course the desktop goes to sleep after the set sleep timer. I don't want to extend it if I can avoid it but want to know if there's any way of turning off the sleep timer temporarily.


    Cheers

    :)

    Windows 10 can't stay awake

    Grep and Kapil,

    Thank you for your help. I was not able to get the Windows 10 to stay awake the configured 30 minutes. But, going through the steps provided, I was able to improve Windows staying awake from 2 minutes to 11 minutes. Why 11 minutes? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    easy way to stay awake?

    The best way to try and stay awake is to not try and stay awake.
    If i try to sleep i don't sleep and vice versa.
