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 10 (2004) does not shut off the monitors with Thrustmaster Warthog HOTAS connected.

    Thanks for starting this thread, it pointed me to right place.

    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.

    In Windows 10 version 1909 Turning off the GeForce Experience.

    I have same problem after Windows 10 2004.

    When I unplug the adapter, the computer asleep perfectly.

    Didn't have this problem with 1909.

    Turning off the GeForce Experience does not help.

    The problem is in the new Windows 2004, please help with solving the problem.

    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.
