Axis and Ohs Demo disconnects when in background

I just discovered AAO for my Stream Deck XL. The demo works, until the AAO application is in the background (and MSFS in the foreground), then the buttons are disconnected from the sim. I’m sure it’s not understanding something missing a setting, etc.

I run MSFS in windowed mode, but with the Lossless Scaling application, if that matters. I’d like to ensure the demo works with the AAO in the background before I purchase it.

If you’re still struggling with this, go to the support forum. The developer is very helpful:
