    Gamepad prevents monitor to go to sleep mode


    Hello, as per title, gamepad prevents monitor to go to sleep mode. Niether timed, neither enforced via console sleep works.I have three gamepads at my disposal, different brands, neither of them use any special software; and all three of them cause this problem. This issue occurred after upgrade to Win10 from Win7, so between these two facts I'm certain its Win10 at fault.Anything i can do to solve the issue?

    :)
