Hello beautiful peoples!
I have my PCs set up so that after 60 seconds of inactivity the screen turns off and the computer goes to sleep after another minute.
With the prices of electrical units skyrocketing in EU I cannot afford to leave the PC and its peripherals on 24 / 7 anymore.

Disabling the IN-GAME OVERLAY in the NVIDIA GeForce Experience settings fixed the issue immediately.
Have You ran into similar issue? Let me know in the comments.
I hope this helps!
Catch you on the flip side,
