Wiimote Sensor Stops Working - raiderstudent - 02-07-2016

This is a weird issue that I seem to have. When I play games with the Wiimote the sensor starts out working fine but after five minutes will stop working. I then have to restart my PC to get the sensor on the Wiimotes to register in Dolphin. Here is some info:

I'm using the latest dev build of Dolphin (4.0-8860)
I've tried sensor bars and candles and both work the same initially.
All of the buttons and motor works.
The games also play at perfect speed so I don't think it's a hardware issue
I am using Windows 10.
I have three official Nintendo Wiimotes and I've tried all three and keep having the same problem.

Has anyone else ever come across this issue? Thanks in advance.

What is the sensor bar powered by? Do the candles stop working too?

Sorry for the late reply but I ended up purchasing another usb sensor bar and it seems to be working much better. No idea what was causing the issue?

It might have had some kind of sleep function.
