Controllers cease to function after PC enters sleep mode
Is there an existing issue for this?
- [x] This is a bug in RetroArch frontend

The controller continues to function as though the PC never entered sleep mode.

Relevant log output
Hi,
Controller is generic dinput device with a manually defined configuration
You should add it to the retroarch-joypad-autoconfig repository.
Can you provide some log ? Which controller are you using ?
Thank you.
The input device in question is actually an adapter for SNES controllers. This is its autoconfig file. This is the log file of the controller being used, then sleeping and waking the PC. The issue seems to have resolved itself between the creation of the issue and now, but I won't close it yet in case this happens again soon.
Thank you, if possible you could submit the autoconfig file in the dinput directory as explained in the documentation.
