Windows Mixed Reality-registry hack to stop the sleep mode that shuts down ED

I just got a new Reverb G2 the other day so forgive me if this info is already widely known. I noticed when I take the G2 off and sit it down to take a break longer than 15 minutes ED would not be running when I got back. I searched the web and finally found this registry entry that worked for me, I left the G2 sitting on my desk with ED running for over 2 hours today. When I returned I was able to resume the game with no problem. The sleep mode is designed to stop "burn in" or something from happening. I was careful to aim at something nice and dark before leaving just in case but I think the headset screen goes blank, or at least it will if you hit Windows Key + Y to get rid of the blue bar at the top of the monitor.

I'm running Win10 version 1909 and this is what worked for me, I'll post the link to the Reddit post and copy the info also:

Start a command prompt as administrator and just copy/paste this in. I strongly suggest making a restore point or some other form of backup before doing anything with the registry:

reg add HKCU\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Holographic /v ScreensaverModeEnabled /t REG_DWORD /d 1
