[PROCESS] \Device\HarddiskVolume5\Program Files\Rainway\Rainway.exe

Away Mode is designed to enable media PC scenarios that include background media sharing and screen recording. If a display is not turned on, Rainway cannot capture the desktop. It is not possible on all systems to programmaticly turn on the display, so we default to keeping displays alive.

Thanks for the update mate, much appreciated.

Solution is don't run it if your not using it for now.

How does Teamviewer manage to do this? I can even use Teamviewer when the screen is locked, or a UAC popup appears. Can't this be integrated into the functionality of Rainway? It would make for the ultimate remote desktop tool :)
