How do you disable standby for headset?

[Zer033]

My headset suddenly started going into standby while using it to watch things in Virtual Desktop or BigScreen Beta. Maybe the sensor is broken? But there should be a way to disable standby right? Anyone know how? It goes into standby within 15 seconds of no movement from the headset. Head has to keep moving slightly to keep it on, very annoying.

Either you have a bad sensor, or some light leakage inside the headset, a quick test is to put a small piece of tape (like electrical tape) or a small piece of a sticky pad over the sensor inside the headset just above the lenses in the middle.

have the same problem after current windows update.
with a high probability deal not in the sensor...

I found a fix. Go into steamVR in VR mode and there is a settings button. Click the button and in power management set the idle time to 10 minutes.

It doesn't look like you can turn off idle entirely, but 10 minutes is better than 5 seconds.

SteamVR > Settings > Developer > Uncheck "Pause rendering when headset is idle"
