Thrustmaster TCA suddenly doesn't let my computer turn on it's screen saver or sleep

Has anyone been able to come up with a non-unplug/turn-off-powered-USB-hub solution to this problem?

In this day and age of everyone and their mom declaring their love/commitment to “green”/“carbon neutral” why is getting my power hungry PC so stupidly difficult to automatically go to sleep when my peripherals are plugged in?

This is the DUMMEST part of switching to a PC. I mean come on Microsoft, my Xbox can go to sleep with peripherals plugged in, why can’t Windows 11?

It would seem that a very recent Windows update has solved this for me. My PC’s display now goes to sleep and the PC goes to sleep both on their set times.

Today was the first time I’ve ever seen this PC go to sleep on its own with the controllers plugged in.
