Windows 10: Windows 10 20H2 Update broken: Game controller keeps screen saver/monitor-off from occurring

It took me several days, but I've tracked down why my monitor going off nor the screen saver starting is occurring. I have a P4 controller with the PS dongle for it. IF I unplug that, they work. Is there any ETA on when a fix will be provided for this bug? It looks like it's a HID-compliant game controller / USB Composite Device, but I see no options to disable it as a wake source, nor does it show up in 'powercfg -devicequery wake_armed'.


I'm currently manually turning off my monitor manually, which is an annoyance.

Option 3: wait at least 6 months before installing any update for Windows 10.

Option 4: don't use Windows 10 at all, because all this WU related BS is getting out of control.

What they were smoking to tell people to disconnect other monitors before launching a game?! If update is that broken, stick it back to your a**e and keep working on it.
