Disabling standby mode
The headset's standby mode can potentially block the connection to the software and subsequently require a restart of Halocline. To prevent this, this standby mode can be disabled.
To do this, go to the Windows Settings app and select the Mixed Reality settings menu. (This is only displayed if the VR headset is detected).
Now select the Headset display submenu and select "Never" under Timeout in standby mode→ Timeout in standby mode.
