Windows 10 (2004) - Does not sleep with Gamepad

Hello,

after upgrading to Windows 10 (2004) my PC dies not go to sleep any more when I plug-in one of my gamepads / controllers. This happens with any of my 4 controllers (all of the same kind).

For the controllers (a USB cable Speedlink SL-650000-BK, XInput / Xbox 360 compatible) the following driver has been installed during the upgrade:

Xbox 360-Controller for Windows (08.12.2019 - 10.0.19041.1)

I do not know which driver has been installed before. Maybe the same? However, with 1909 everything worked perfectly.

I can even narrow down the problem. When the controller is plugged in, GetLastInputInfo (winuser.h) always returns that input has been given some ms ago. So Windows always gets input, but nobody is doing that physically, of course. Therefore, Windows does not sleep.

    And I can "disable" the issue by unplugging the device! This is less work than rolling back and postponing updates.

    However, the issue is not solved by that!

    I see. If you want to report this to Microsoft use the Feedback Hub app in Start Menu where developers are tasked to process consumer feedback. They will not even see it here. This is a tech forums staffed mostly by volunteers trying to help others with your problems.

    If you want to post back a Share link from your Feedback here others who see this thread can vote it up and add to it. If you are an Insider I can also vote it up with my MVP badge and track the issue for you.
