Leap motion controller stopping windows 10 machine going to standby

[pacmanssj]

Hi, I've just installed leap motion with the latest V4 drivers, seems to function absolutely fine in the diagnostics, but noticed that my machine will no longer go into standby, guessing windows 10 is detecting some movement out of it constantly and so no longer times out? Anyone else had this issue?

Thanks

Windows 10 could be prevented from going to standby if it is reading the Leap motion Controller as an active webcam whilst it is connected with the hand tracking active.

You can test this by leaving the Leap Motion Controller connected but with tracking paused and also unplugging this device (and only this device) to see if the computer goes to standby when left alone. I would recommend changing your power settings to a smaller amount of time so you are not waiting around for this to happen!
