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.

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

    I have the same problem, win version 1909. I have had it for a while now. Microsoft Xbox One wireless controller. Even my displays won't go off. And typical that a windows specialist with 10 years of awards won't even understand the problem.

    I finally solved it with my controller, download Xbox 360 drivers from Microsoft

    Then in Device Manager, Switch the controller drivers

    Then restart PC and make sure that Driver Version is 2.1.0.1349 (2009 drivers)
