Hi, I am Dave, I will help you with this.
If the laptop goes to sleep, that will suspend all running processes, you should completely disable sleep, then just lock the laptop and the processes will continue to run.
How do I keep processes running on my laptop even if the screen is off?

I have some processes running on my laptop that are going to take a while to complete. However, they keep stopping whenever my laptop enters power saver mode. How do I allow my processes to keep running even if I'm not physically interacting with my machine for several hours?
