I'm not 100% sure this is where the issue lies, but i had a 3080ti previously and with my ch pedals and yoke the screen would time out at the time set, no issues.

I put the new 4090 in, latest nvidia driver (and previous drivers since the 4090 was released tried too), i did clean, i did DDU in safe mode etc..

No matter what, the pc screens will not timeout after the set time (nor will the pc sleep either). Pc sleep commands in terminal dont show anything holding up the system, but i know if i unplug both ch devices it works (not just 1).I dont run the geforce experience software either.

Has anyone ran into this and found a fix? Im on windows 11, have tried various tricks in device manager and power options as well.

Maybe it's an issue with the input devices? When you look at an input capture for the pedals and yoke, are the values jittering if you're not touching them?

Yeah i checked that, i didnt see any motion, good idea though
 
I'd still assume it's the potentiometers in the CH Products hardware. There's absolutely no reason why there'd be any interaction between them and the GPU.

I'd crack them open and give the pots a squirt of contact cleaner. Or fresh pots. Or a hall-effect sensor conversion.

I still need to give this a shot, i suppose i could just use a 1:1 mixture of water and isop. alochol in a spray bottle couldnt i (i dont have contact cleaner on hand), or maybe theres a way i could disconnect them in the yoke just to prove its that without disconnecting the usb, but i doubt, probably soldered.

Isopropyl alcohol is generally already a mix of Isopropyl alcohol and water. I wouldn't use anything less than 90% IPA, though 99% is preferable.

That said, you can find contact cleaner in your local hardware store.
 
Well, i took the approach of disconnecting things inside the yoke.. i disconnected all but the usb connection, so no pots involved at that point. The issue remained
 
Well, in an interesting turn of events, i swapped out for a honeycomb yoke and moved my ch to another pc.. in BOTH cases now the pc will not sleep, 21h2 win11 on both machines. Disconnect either yoke from either system and the screen times out just fine.
 
Well, i decided to do DDU again, went to safe mode, cleared things out, back to win11, tested, screen times out just fine..

Installed the latest nvidia driver.. screen STILL times out just fine.

Rebooted, now its broke again. The issue for me popped up on switching 3080ti to 4090.. so i think its linked to the gpu driver in some way, at least post install of the driver and rebooting.
