Just wondered if anybody had any idea what this is about. Since the WIn 10 upgrade I have found that my pc won't sleep. I've checked all the recommendations. But finally I discovered that if I unplug my Thrustmaster throttle (not the stick) then the PC will sleep. As far as I know I am current with all drivers. Am I alone in this? Any others with the same problem?
Thrustmaster throttle prevents PC sleeping

- Start date
I will take a guess? it may be a bit of grime causing constant inputs probably analog like mouse jitters keeping pc awake
or even low power as in volts drop causing a ghosting input if not on a mains powerd usb hub
(diagnosable by watching windows game controller calibration tool crosshair for non intentional axis input)
which a dead band setting may cure in your control devices software suite
try enabling selective suspend usb in your advanced power management inside your control panel power options
maybe that may send pc to the land of nod

My Logitech X52 also causes my PC to stay awake, and the same goes for my flight sim pedals. They all seem to output jittery data when idle, that Windows interpret as activity. I'm pretty sure the error lies at M$, but it's been a known problem for some time, and it probably wont be fixed. My solution is to unplug the controllers from the USB ports when I don't use them, which isn't optimal.
There are (got one on my desk right now) powered USB hubs with a power switch for those cases.
Yeah but I spent all the money on the GPU
Seriously, it's software related. If windows didn't wake on signals from game controllers but only on mouse and keyboard, there would be no need for any hub.
