Hi Experts
When I am downloading any huge files from internet & am away from the machine - it automatically goes to sleep disrupting the download. When I login back, I get a message "The computer tried to shut down but <any open application> stopped the shutdown".
Attached is the screenshot of the settings. Please advice what's wrong and how to get away from this issue?
Thank you
Thanks & Regards

Press the Schedule button and verify that you don't have an automatic Shutdown scheduled.
There is no Automatic Shutdown scheduled. Screenshot attached
Thanks.
Try deleting the file named: com.apple.PowerManagement.plist
user/library/preferences/systemconfiguration
Then reset your settings.
Thanks. Please also advice on how do I reset my settings?
My current file content for power management is as shown.

In your case, open Energy Saver in System Preferences and set the Computer sleep to Never.
Done. Will update here in a while. Thanks
It did not work. I buffered a video and left the Mac untouched.
I got the voice "Do you want to shut down the computer" which I did not attend to believing the preference will make sure, the machine does not go to sleep.
When I checked after 15 minutes, I saw my browser and all the applications closed and Mac in sleep mode.
Should I call the Mac support?
Mac goes to sleep, while downloading for long
