W510 - how do you prevent it going to sleep????

I can't figure this out and I'm not even sure if its possible....

 

Part of my regular usage of a computer or tablet is downloading things while I'm NOT using the computer.  On my phone, on my android tablets, or a regular laptop, I can do this.

 

With the w510 I cannot figure this out....   If you close the dock or hit the power button, it goes to sleep, the screen just doesn't turn off.  On a regular laptop if you close the lid, you can configure it so that it does nothing. 

 

With or without the dock, it will always sleep and my downloads can't continue.  This is a dealbreaker for me, does anyone have a solution?

 

Thanks

    Well - I got it to work with the dock... not sure what exactly I did beyond increasing the time to where the computer sleeps.

     

    On the flipside, I'm pretty sure its impossible to make it work when just using the tablet itself.

    In docking mode, just press Fn+F6, after you change power option to never sleep, leaves computer on, but screen off
