Controller or Dongle Stays Off After Sleeping (Not the Computer Itself)
Controller or Dongle Stays Off After Sleeping (Not the Computer Itself)
First of all my apologies if this is not the right section Hey guys I recently purchased an Xbox controller bundled with the USB adapter for windows 10 looking to get rid of windows and Bluetooth connectivity but I'm facing now something worse and I wonder if anyone here can help me with this problem. The scenario is the following: I turn on my computer/laptop (ThinkPad e14 with a Ryzen 5 7530U, 16gb Ram running windows 11 pro) the dongle is connected and the controller paired to it and it works fine lets say I have to stand up for a few minutes enough for the controller to go to sleep, when I come back I press the power button and the controller blinks once or twice and fades off, now the only way to make the controller/dongle wake up is by restarting the computer. Unplugging and plugging in doesn't work Pairing it again doesn't work (once it pairs blinks twice and sleeps/fades out) Uninstalling the device and letting it re-install doesn't work (the driver or device from the device manager) Going into the Properties of the device(dongle) and disabling "Selective Suspend" doesn't work and increasing the sleep timer can only go up to 60 seconds. (in device manager properties) I downloaded Snappy Driver Installer and updated everything and nothing changed and after that ran the Lenovo driver update thing and the only available update was a BIOS update and that ran and completed successfully. Is this dongle broken or its a driver/settings issue? I found someone having a similar issue about a year ago but for that person it got fixed when he uninstalled some other program he had for keyboard mapping but I don't have anything like that. Link to that other post: https://www.reddit.com/r/buildapc/commen...microsoft/ Maybe this can help but I saw this on the event log for the device. - <Event xmlns = "http://schemas.microsoft.com/win/2004/08/events/event" > - <System> <Provider Name = "Microsoft-Windows-Kernel-PnP" Guid = "{9c205a39-1250-487d-abd7-e831c6290539}" /> <EventID> 411 </EventID> <Version> 0 </Version> <Level> 2 </Level> <Task> 0 </Task> <Opcode> 0 </Opcode> <Keywords> 0x4000000000000000 </Keywords> <TimeCreated SystemTime = "2024-03-05T13:15:19.8297192Z" /> <EventRecordID> 1612 </EventRecordID> <Correlation /> <Execution ProcessID = "4" ThreadID = "9816" /> <Channel> Microsoft-Windows-Kernel-PnP/Configuration </Channel> <Computer> ******** </Computer> <Security UserID = "******" /> </System> - <EventData> <Data Name = "DeviceInstanceId" > USB\VID_045E&PID_02FE\093476 </Data> <Data Name = "DriverName" > oem1.inf </Data> <Data Name = "ClassGuid" > {4d36e972-e325-11ce-bfc1-08002be10318} </Data> <Data Name = "ServiceName" > mt7612US </Data> <Data Name = "LowerFilters" /> <Data Name = "UpperFilters" > xboxgip </Data> <Data Name = "Problem" > 0x0 </Data> <Data Name = "Status" > 0xc00000e5 </Data> </EventData> </Event>
Yes, there is an option in Device Manager for Power Management. Have you checked if it was enabled and unchecked before?
Usually USB gadgets show several records in Device Manager. When you locate a matching record, it should list different power settings. For example, I turn off that setting on my mice to fix sleep problems, and some models appear as two entries—one for Human Interface Devices and another for Mice and Other Pointing Devices—each with only one power option available.
While I was composing another comment, it fell asleep. When it came back, everything seemed normal, though earlier I had removed a Lenovo "HOTKEY" tool from my system. I wasn’t sure what it did, but it might have been linked to an adapter issue similar to the problem the other person faced with "AntiMicroX".
Lets see I'm still waiting for it to go to sleep since I disabled the "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power", Ill keep you posted.
Adjust your sleep timer to brief intervals such as one minute for quicker evaluations.
