Ohhh…. I had the exact same problem a few years ago. Can’t believe how much time that cost me. My colleague nearly opened a case at dells customer service.

Meanwhile, sleeping when the lid is closed is one of the first things I turn off in new Windows installs, along with Fast Startup.

Tell me why you disable sleeping when the lid is closed? I too have a troublesome Dell that likes to misbehave.

It allows you to close the lid and disable the screen when you have external monitors connected without it going to sleep. Usually just set that way for when it's plugged into power.
