There are a few other places we would like to direct you to for support, both from Microsoft and from the community.
The first way we want to connect with you is our mixed reality developer program, which you can sign up for at https://aka.ms/IWantMR.
For technical questions, please use Stack Overflow, and tag your questions using either hololens or windows-mixed-reality.
If you want to join in discussions, please do so in the HoloDevelopers Slack, which you can join by going to https://aka.ms/holodevelopers, or in our Microsoft Tech Communities forums at https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/mixed-reality/ct-p/MicrosoftMixedReality.
And always feel free to hit us up on Twitter @MxdRealityDev.

Turn-off auto-standby
The hololens goes into standby mode after 3 minutes of inactivity. Is there any way to disable this? It's a bit inconvenient when testing sharing between devices, since devices disconnect when they go to sleep.

Hi @uwjk,
If you go to the Windows Device Portal for your HoloLens, the Home page has a Preferences section that will allow you to adjust the sleep settings for your device. While you can't disable it completely, you will be able to set it to 30 minutes, which should be more convenient for testing.6

Awesome thanks! It's nice to have it unplugged for testing and walking around the space. The windows device portal was exactly what I was looking for!
In the Device Portal you seem to be able to overwrite the default settings for the possible sleep values and e.g. enter "0" for one of the values in seconds.
You should be able to do that in code, too.
