Xbox One Controller preventing monitor from going to standby mode!
Hello,
I've ran into a new problem last 1 month I am having this issue and I have just diagnosed last night the problem that is causing my monitor to not turn off its display.
It turns out that there is some very tiny drifting going on with my Afterglow Xbox One Gamepad Controller. Afterglow Wired Controller for Xbox One I've had this controller for the last 10 months, it is still in warranty. I've used it only with my PC, I don't have a console.
However, it appears despite re-calibrating the controller from the game controller settings in control panel, it is preventing Windows 10 monitor from going to sleep.
I've set my monitor to turn off after 1 minute. But it doesn't turn off. But if I lift the analog sticks upwards this somehow fixes the issue, but obviously not a proper solution at all.
Now, the strange part is that I never had the problem under Windows 10 1809 and when I upgraded from 1809 to 1903. It is only after I had freshly installed Windows 10 1903 then this problem started to emerge!
Last 1 month my monitor has never turned off its display even though I've set the power option for it to turn off after 15 minutes of inactivity.
If I disable the controller from the settings or unplug the controller, then monitor display will turn off. I have noticed that it appears that Windows installed the latest Xbox One Controller drivers and I am wondering whether this is the cause of it?
I never had this problem last 10 months. I've had this controller since September 2018. Can someone shed some light? I don't want to have to unplug the controller so monitor can go to sleep.
