    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 gamepad problem

    Hi Malav,

    Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community.

    After going through the following link I understand that your Gamepad is only compatible with Windows Vista or older versions. Therefore, it will not work in Windows 10.

    http://www.enter-multimedia.com/gamepad_single_vibration.html

    However, you may download the driver from the following link and run the driver using Windows 10 Compatibility troubleshooter.

    http://www.enter-multimedia.com/support.html

    Click on USB Gamepad, download the driver and then follow the steps below.

    • Right-click on the setup file of the driver and select
      Properties.
    • Select Compatibility Tab.
    • Place a check mark next to Run this program in Compatibility mode and select operating system from the drop down list.
    • Let the driver install and then check the functionality.

    You may also refer the link below for more help.

    Make older programs compatible with this version of Windows

    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-8/older-programs-compatible-version-windows

    (Steps for Windows 8.1 are also applicable for Windows 10 in the above link)

    Hope this helps. Please respond if you have further related queries.

    Regards,

    Gamepad not working in Windows 10

    Hello,

    I suspect this might be a hardware issue, since your cousin’s gamepad works well on your PC and your gamepad is facing the same issue on your cousin’s PC. So I suggest you to contact the gamepad manufacturer for better assistance.

    Windows 10 2004 - Does not sleep with Gamepad

    Windows 10 Tweaks

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK
