Prevent Windows from shutting down if transfering file

Question

Is there a way to prevent Windows from going to sleep mode if there are file transfers going on?

It is very annoying to have a massive GB file going over wireless only to close the lid for it to stop half way thru.

You can also make it so that when you close the lid on your laptop, it won't turn off the screen. That may be an alternative solution. HowTo: mydigitallife.info/… — Codezilla, Jul 21, 2014 at 3:18

The easiest way I usually do is open window media player, play a song in repeat mode. It will keep windows always awake.
