Sleeping PC w/ LB running means it may not come back

It’s been a while since I’ve seen this, and I’ve worked around it, but reporting it because it’s an extreme problem when it occurs.

When I would sleep my computer with LB running, there was a very high chance it would blue-screen or fail to wake up from sleep. I thought it was Windows, but then I noticed when I didn’t leave LB running, it never happened, and it hasn’t happened since I started manually closing LB before sleeping the computer every night.

Another reason I highly suspect this was the cause was that, when it happened, a file (controllers XML or one of the platform XMLs) was always corrupted, like the computer died in mid-rewrite of the file, and I had to restore. This was even if I hadn’t used LB for hours. So it appears some part of its file handling and/or file-locking gets fouled up in sleep.

Definitely an extreme problem, and there was pretty close to 1-to-1 correlation. I have not had LB XML file corruption since I started carefully shutting it down every night before sleeping computer.

Marking it as a blocker since forcing BSD/reboot + having to restore from backup, losing recent changes, for me is pretty severe.
