How to prevent a Windows 10 PC from sleeping/hibernates during a scan? I know I can change power settings in W10 Settings?

You can temporarily disable sleep during scans using powercfg -change standby-timeout-ac 0 in Command Prompt, then restore it later. Or run your scan with the laptop plugged in and set “Never” for sleep under Power & sleep settings to prevent interruptions.
