Windows 10 Will Uploads Continue in Sleep Mode

When I used Macs I was able to check something in the settings like, "Wake for network activity" and my Mac always finished it's transfers. How do I do that on Windows?
I've gotten around this in the past by going to Settings > Power & Sleep > and turning Sleep to Never. But I'd rather not have to switch this on EVERY time I upload something. I want my computer to sleep after some time unless I'm uploading.
Thanks!

Ah, I see. Try this then to keep network activity functional during sleep mode since I don't think Win 10 has the option to keep itself from going to sleep during file transfer.The Sleep setting does say on Never unless I change it back but, as I mentioned before, I want my computer to sleep after some time unless I'm uploading. I don't want my computer constantly running and using power if I'm not using it.

Windows does have a wake-on-LAN feature that boots it through internet if it does fall to sleep

If none of these work, my last janky solution would be to just write a simple program to force windows to press a key every specified interval until a certain amount of times you deem necessary for the files to go through.
