Pc Goes To Sleep In The Middle Of A Scan

alokep

I am running a desktop Windows 10 on the default "balanced" plan: display off in 10 min, sleep in 30 min.

The computer goes to sleep in the middle of a system scan. This is preventing a full system scan from completing.

Should this happen? Shouldn't the CPU and disk activity prevent the PC from going to sleep?

Any way to avoid this without changing the power setting to never allowing the computer to sleep?
