Windows 10 sleep

[Bryan]

I'm using windows 10 with JF server 10.9.8.
I have set everything I know of to keep it awake, but after a while of no one using the server (watching TV), it goes to sleep. My daughter was watching a movie on our Fire TV using the Jellyfin app, then a few hours later I turned on my TV and no server. I remote in to the server and it's not there, but the power is on, so I hit the power button and it wakes up to the login screen. First, there is no pass, when I turn it on there is no log in screen, it just goes straight to windows but for some reason it went to a login screen coming out of sleep. Second, it should not be able to go to sleep.

How often is this happening? Is it once a month? If so, it can be due to a Windows update.

You didn't specify if you have the server version of Windows, so I assume you have the home version where monthly updates are forced onto the user automatically.

You may be right, it could have been an update, it hasn't happened again.
I have Windows 10 pro.
I was able to find how to turn off/stop all updates and did taht, there is no reason for them. I only use this PC to run JF server on my local network, it just uses the internet to get data the JF server requests. I still have the firewall and security on and my router also has a firewall so I should be good now...

Thank you for responding.

Configure your PC for Wake Up On LAN or possibly Wake on Wireless Lan (if it support it).

WOL Clients I use:
Linux : gWakeOnLAN from the Linux Mint software manager.
Android : "Wake On Lan"
Apple : "RemoteBoot WOL".

You can then use this to stop the computer from going to sleep whilst streaming:
