If BYE is running and connected to the camera, the Xbox controller seems to wake up when I press the button, but it will no longer control the mount.

I use BYE on a Windows 10 laptop PC, Windows is up to date. I hope someone has encountered this or a similar issue and found a solution, or that at least someone has ideas about what I might try.
