  1. Features: Automatically shut off the console after a N-Minutes of inactivity. It will listen for any Keyboard or Controller input. Once activity is found, the app is paused of N-minutes. Here's a gotcha, though. Windows requires permission to run the shutdown command. If you're running as admin, I think you're fine. If not you'll need to give your user permission... Open the Local Security Policy editor by typing "secpol.msc" in the Start menu search box and pressing Enter. In the Local Security Policy editor, navigate to Local Policies > User Rights Assignment. In the right-hand pane, double-click the "Shut down the system" policy. In the "Shut down the system Properties" window, click the "Add User or Group" button. In the "Select Users or Groups" dialog box, type your user name in the "Enter the object names to select" field and click "Check Names" to confirm the user name. Click OK to close the "Select Users or Groups" dialog box, and then click OK to close the "Shut down the system Properties" window. Close the Local Security Policy editor. Attached is the C++ Code and the compiled code. Usage: `AutoSleep.exe <minutesAllowedInactive> <pauseMinutesBetweenActivity>` Example usage: `AutoSleep.exe 120 45` Everything should work out of the box, but I'm not normally writing C++ Code... or working within Windows for that matter. I welcome any changes or updates. I am placing this in beta and keeping it there. AutoSleep.exe autosleep.cpp
  2. Interestingly enough, this issue was fixed by renaming my Window's user from "S&S" to "SandS" Would this be considered a bug? I can imagine it's sort of common to have special characters in a directory on Windows.
  3. Using Default Theme (Default everything - clean & fresh install). Checking drive format and placement here shortly. Support recommended no characters in my Windows username (which there is)
  4. Hello all. I'm starting to setup my retro box, but running into an issue with a fresh install of windows and a fresh install of launchbox. LaunchBox itself works fine, I'm able to use Keyboard and USB XBox Controller - it is when I open BigBox that I receive errors. I'll get the "bigbox" intro sound and nothing else... only way out is to Ctrl+Alt+Del MiniPC: Beelink SER5 Plus AMD Mini PC, Ryzen 7 5800H (see Windows.png) Quick details / things I've done thus far: Installed MAME 0.252 (merged) Deleted LaunchBox a few times and did another fresh install with the same result Updated Windows with Windows Updater Updated AMD Chipset to latest Installed License.yml for LaunchBox Looking forward to any ideas! I look around at the forums and all I found was this topic here that wasn't responded to:
