	Xsight ~~has issues maintaining~~ a connection in Win 8.1/10, meaning the connection to the remote is immediately lost and RMIR can't fully download or upload. If this is the case, you'll get a warning about the EnhancedPowerManagement registry setting or the error "write remote returned 0" in RMIR or the upload/download will appear to finish very quickly without error (a normal upload/download takes several seconds, possibly minutes). Thanks to user <span class="plainlinks">[http://www.hifi-remote.com/~~forums~~/~~profile~~.php~~?mode=viewprofile&u=16988 eXim82]<~~/~~span>, there is a solution for Win 8.1 detailed [http://www.hifi-remote.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=115162#115162 here~~].		Certain registry settings are required in order for Xsight to maintain a connection in Win 8.1 and 10 which are detailed [http://www.hifi-remote.com/wiki/index.php/Enhanced_Power_Management Here].

	Links to the official patches from OneForAll are posted below in the [[Getting started with Xsight and Nevo#References\|References]] section. Or you can simply go straight to the following registry key (where 80xx is the PID for your model remote) and change EnhancedPowerManagementEnabled to 0. Change takes effect next time remote is plugged in, no reboot required.		Links to the official registry patches from OneForAll are posted below in the [[Getting started with Xsight and Nevo#References\|References]] section. Or you can simply follow the instructions in RMIR linked above.

	~~[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\USB\'''VID_06E7'''&'''PID_80xx'''\XSIGHT.\Device Parameters]~~

	~~Different Xsight and Nevo models have different PID's (8001, 8002, 8004, 8005, 8006, 8007, 8008, 8009 and 8011). But this key should get you close no matter what model since the VID is always~~ the ~~same ('''06E7''').~~

	~~When you first plug~~ in ~~a remote with an older firmware, you may have to unplug, make the~~ above ~~registry, plug back in and retry the upgrade (disconnect/reconnect, upgrade again).~~

	~~Some Windows updates may also reset this key, so the change may need to be applied again. If you have issues downloading/uploading, check the registry key first and set it back to 0~~.
