Stop Gladiator from keeping Windows awake

Postby Aquitaine » Fri Feb 24, 2023 20:15

Problem: Whenever my VKB gladiator(s) are plugged in, Windows 11 is receiving input from them and staying awake (no screen saver or sleep).

This problem isn't unique to VKB but other sticks I've had include a 'power management' checkbox in the device manager (as they are recognized in the device manager as a specific entry rather than just "HID Compliant game controller 001" and 002 and so on. The power management tab is where you can un-check 'allow this device to wake up the computer.'

I don't want them to wake up the computer but I also don't want to have to unplug them every time I'm not using them. Is there another way to accomplish this?

Google-fu showed a powercfg command that doesn't work for me (says I don't have permissions even when running it admin mode).
