Hi,

I have had two of these extenders not work after some time (several months), light dims and brightens, "sleeps" but it does not work... Has nothing to do with the PC going to sleep, in fact the one I am writing this about, went to sleep when I had it in my hands, the PC was not asleep. Can't get it to wake back up.

I have had this one: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B087BJGWMH/ref=ask_ql_qh_dp_hza
and this one: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01EV33R8S/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1

After the first one went to "sleep" I replaced it with the second one and it worked fine, now it has gone to sleep. How do you wake these things back up? Unplugged (not at the same time) both at the PC and at the extender and that did not work. No reset button. Is this a setting in windows 10?
