My computer is refusing to change its state and wont get into sleep mode, screensaver mode or any other idle mode.
After investigating the problem, i found out that when one specific midi controller of mine is causing this issue - when it's connected, pc will behave as described above, but when its disconneted, computer behaves normally and goes to sleep after the period of time i specified in its power plan.

What shall i do? I dont want to connect/disconnect the hardware every time i go away from my computer...

Thanks,
Erez

Under your power options the is a setting called "USB selective suspend settings", try setting it to disabled.

It's disabled, but still won't sleep

Does your MIDI-controller come with it's own setttings where you can enable or disable 'sleep-mode'?

It comes with a mapping software, but i can't see any sleep related options there. The controller is Icon iControls.

I don't know if you're using Windows or a Mac but regardless of that I think many MIDI-controllers have a 'DJ-mode' which prevents the PC from going to sleep or screensaver. Maybe you see an option for that.

for a audio workstation all the "sleep" stuff should be off anyway.

Have you checked your bios options? Im thinking there might be some type of 'Allow USB to wake' type setting.

My computer won't go to sleep/screensaver
