Controllers cease to function after PC enters sleep mode

Is there an existing issue for this?

• This is a bug in RetroArch frontend
• I have searched the existing issues

Description

After the PC enters sleep mode while a HID controller is connected, the RetroArch stops receiving input from the device. The only way to fix it is to replug the device or restart RetroArch.

Expected behavior

The controller continues to function as though the PC never entered sleep mode.

Steps to reproduce the bug

1. Open RetroArch.
2. Connect HID game controller
3. Put PC into sleep mode, by closing a laptop's lid or otherwise
4. Wake the PC after any amount of time
5. No input is received from the controller

Reproduce the issue on Windows 11 22H2 with a generic DirectInput controller, then compare input handling before sleep and after wake across the available input drivers. Done means the controller accepts input after waking without being replugged or restarting RetroArch.
