Just about to go out but want to leave the PC on for some downloads. Where abouts on windows can I turn off the automatic standby and thus leave it running?

it should be in control panel options, power settings..

if the pc is downlaoding, it should stay live so to speak until downaloding and certian time params pass.

the monitor may go onto screen saver, but the pc should stay on
