My Deck wakes from sleep within 5 seconds when SD card is inserted
Post Body

Since one of the recent updates (not sure of exactly which one), my Steam Deck will not go to sleep - whether from pressing the power button or via the Steam Power Menu - when my SD card is inserted. As the title mentions, it initiates the sleep cycle but will immediately wake back up within 5 seconds if my SD card is in. I am, however, able to put it to sleep if I remove my SD card and reinsert after it is "fully asleep".

Unfortunately, I have not been able to find a fix from my searches. There were a few threads that mention the "storage device maintenance tasks" at the bottom of Settings > System, but that didn't make a difference for me.

Before I try backing up my SD card (essentially my emulation storage) and reformatting it, has anyone else experienced this and know of a fix?
