    Gamepad prevents my monitors and PCs from going to sleep

    PC does not go to sleep

    Since the Windows 10 (1809) March 13th update, my PC does not go to sleep. I've reset the monitor and PC sleep times with no luck.

    I've reviewed and attempted all the on-line suggestions again with no luck. Does anyone have any new (post March 13) suggestions?
