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.

    Yes it still persists. Tested and reproduce issue on multiple windows versions final 2004, final 20H2, insiders 19042, insiders 20231.

    Feedback is sent to MS via feedback hub, but i dont know if it will be ever noticed by MS.

    I have the same issue. With windows 10 2004 and connected controller (have tested with either heusinkveld simpedals, sony dualshock and xbox controller) screen does not turn off when idle. With windows 1909 there is no issue.

    TM has become a douche company. 

    Not going to buy another product from. I can get what I need from other companies, I am fed up with them.

    For the first time in my life getting really tired of everything PC, even this **** Microsoft keeps pulling.

    I finally received an answer from Thrustmaster. They wrote that it's a problem with the operating system and that they recommend I contact Microsoft...
