Print stopped half way through when printing from Windows 10
I'm a 3D print newbie, and hving just build an Anet A8 and printed a couple of things from the SD card I thought I'd try out Repetier Host/Server.
I was initially very impressed with the software, brilliant!
That was until I left a print to continue and returned a while later to find that the print had just stopped in the middle.
I'm guessing that the connection was lost but I can't find anything in the Windows 10 Event Viewer except some Edge crashes (quality Microsoft software eh?).
I saved the gcode to the SD card and it printed fine.
Is there anything I can do to troubleshoot what happened - are there any Repetier log files I could look at?
Is it possible to configure Repetier to download the whole of the gcode to the printer so that it isn't dependent on the connection to the computer?
As you can understand I'm nervous about printing via the Repetier route again in case it fails again wasting time and material, but its so good I'd like to use it as long as I can make it reliable.
Thanks for any help.

The issue I have with your answer is that repetier host works perfectly fine with the same USB COM port driver. Why does repetier server have this BSOD crash issue while repetier host doesn't? Surely they must be interacting with the COM port slightly differently? Why not look into that and find a solution?
I've used repetier server on several computers and they all crash with the same BSOD error using repetier server, but all work perfectly fine with repetier host. Can you explain this? I would really love to be able to use repetier server if at all possible...
disable the USB selective suspend mode in power plan advanced settings!
that solves the problem
