Gamepad not recognized when turned on after starting games (slrpnk.net)

Is this just me? Everything works perfectly, but if the controller turns off and on again while a game is running, it's no longer recognized, and this forces me to restart the game.

I don't know how useful it is but I tried to join the input group, nothing changed.

Same thing happens to me with an Xbox controller plugged into my PC with a USB cable. If it goes to sleep, I need to restart the game to use it again. And sometimes it suddenly stops working and sends a constant "analog stick down" command until I unplug it (which means I can't use it anymore lol)
