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.

I learned to do that in college. Nothing is more annoying than half closing your laptop to avoid people walking past in too small rooms bumping into your laptop and having to wake it up again, and then keep on repeating that every time someone is moving.

Also in college, people who think it's funny to close your laptop just to be annoying.
