Nefhril Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 After the latest update of LaunchBox, Win10 won't put the PC to sleep. If I just minimize Launchbox (showing the desktop) it goes into sleep with no problem. 'powercfg /requests' doesn't show anything running.

Nefhril Posted March 25, 2020 Author Share Posted March 25, 2020 I found the issue... I did one change, I turned on the controllers in LaunchBox. This made it so Win10 can't got to sleep when in Launchbox. Anyone know how to solve this, would be nice to put PC to sleep when using controllers in LaunchBox when not playing. Can't unplug it every time, I have an X-Arcade Tankstick built in to a cabinet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C-Beats Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 There a reason you can't just use the "Sleep" menu item inside of Big Box's main menu to do it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Carr Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 I think this is just how Windows works. In order to support controllers, we have to poll/read the controllers. That in itself keeps the computer awake. Unfortunately there's nothing we can do about that, that I'm aware of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sleep button sounds good... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C-Beats Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 Sorry when you said it was in a cabinet I assumed you were using Big Box, don't know too many running LaunchBox in one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
