It seems like this happens 1/3rd of the time when I wake my HTPC up. My controller, which is a Steam CONTROLLER, will not work, neither will my mouse and keyboard. Connecting and reconnecting the controller does nothing. My only solution is to turn the PC off and on. I’m on the Stable Deck 44 image. My system is AMD.
