Spoiler: I have an XPS 9500 under Linux, which sleeps fine under S3 but then it never wakes up. So the problem isn't with Windows.

- tome 5y agoWhat does "never wakes up" mean? I thought I had the same problem but then I discovered that closing and opening the lid is the only way to get it to wake. Neither the power button (it turns it off) nor keypresses (they do nothing) work.

- senkora 5y agoI’ve had a problem like this with my XPS and I was able to solve it by holding the power button for 25-40 seconds to reset something: https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000125880/how-to-reset-real-time-clock-rtc-to-recover-your-dell-portable-system#supported-systems https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000125880/how-to-re...
- BoorishBears 5y agoA comment above mentions manufacturers removing S3 support from their bios with the exact symptoms you mentioned
- teekert 5y agoSo you’re actually "putting it to sleep", when you put it to sleep.
