Same problem after Windows 10 2004, with Logitech G27 racing wheel plugged in. Once unplugged, Windows sleeps normally. Didn't have this problem with 1909.

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.
Windows for home | Windows 10 | Sleep and Power on, off

2020-06-10T13:29:21+00:00 Exactly the same problem. I have a Dualshock 4 wireless adapter and have been trying all night to understand why the computer does not enter sleep mode. Turning off the GeForce Experience does not help
I think the problem is in the new Windows 2004, please help with solving the problem
When I unplug the adapter, the computer falls asleep perfectly

2020-06-04T21:47:40+00:00 I have not been able to fix it. The "advice" above did not help. It might be a good tip to directly contact the developers as Greg said. However, I don't want to install a stupid app and go several weeks through multiple levels of support until you finally get to people who know what you are actually talking about: "GetLastInputInfo (winuser.h)", where it should be obvious that drivers got screwed or not compatible to our hardware any more.
What I did is re-installing 1909. I know that this is not a solution for more than several months, and it might be harmful. However, I had so many problems, also with Microsoft hardware (Surface -> Modern Standby etc), I could cry wasting so much money and time!
Maybe, Greg is right and they will fix the game controller drivers, but I don't think so to be honest. Don't know what to do.
