Retropie exits games on his own.

Raspberry pi 3B
2A power supply
Retropie Version 4.1
Built From: pre made sd image
USB Devices connected: none
Controller used: Wii u pro controller
Error messages received: none

While playing a game without holding any buttons games just go back to the emulation station menu.
I tested this by just turning a game on and letting it run while no one was near the controller after a couple of minutes games will just go back to the menu on there own. (sometimes it takes hours sometimes minutes) Also sometimes it opens the retroarch menu on it's own. I am using the wii u pro controller with bluetooth connection and this happens on all emulators.

@Smashpwn the recommended power supply for a Pi3 is 2.5a minimum. Mobile chargers are also not great for powering anything past the first gen Pi's.

I'd try a 2.5a one to see if it still exists back to ES on its own then.

Well I thought about this but could this really have anything to do with it because I couldn't think of a reason power has anything to do with this.

@Smashpwn As the Pi uses more processor when running an emulator etc, it'll up it's power usage. So when you get the crashes back to ES it makes sense this could be at fault.

Also, the official Pi3 power spec does state that 2.5a is the minimum required.
