    Now, I've already posted this in two other threads, but this is the best bit of information I have stumbled across for my AW, and feel everyone should do this, whether they've had a problem or not. A silly feature meant to save you a few minutes of battery life that causes more grief than its worth.



    Click on the "start" button on the task bar and type power options, or right click on your batter icon in the task bar and get to power options from there.

    "Change Plan Settings"

    then "change advanced settings"

    for ALL your power schemes, scroll to the 6th option, "USB Settings"

    "USB selective suspend setting"

    DISABLE THAT STUFF!!!!

    Restart, and see what happens. Solved all the problems I was having with fingerprint reader not working and motion eye not working too.
