I created a similar thread.  I turned off having the computer going to sleep and just had the displays go to sleep.  Somebody mentioned to turn off hibernate and I also turned off hybrid sleep and will see what happens.  I read a bunch of threads of monitors not waking up properly with Windows 10.  I think hibernate and hybrid sleep may be the culprit.  Report back if that fixes your issue.

1. 2 via HDMI to DP port (via multi connector). Please note I am using two separate ports to connect 3 monitors.

2.  I got an email from Dell software team today which is asking for $130 to provide some sort of a software patch to fix the issue. 

 

 

 


1. Sounds like a strange device. Try straight-thru cables connected to native ports (even if you must drop back to 2). It should work.

2. Obviously, I can't speak for them. But I think they want you to go-ahead and buy 1 year of software-support since you skipped it on purchase. Personally, I think everyone should get Hardware and Software support for the first year. If it's an extra $75, so be it ... customers should not be allowed to opt-out to save a few dollars.

Problem solved and everyone would be happy for 1st year.

I am having this same issue for about 6 months since I got it as well. Called dell and let the guy poke around for an hour on my computer and he couldn’t figure it out.  Sometimes it will wake w extensive mouse and keyboard clicking. Other times I will just have to manually restart the computer.   Very annoying for how much I paid for this thing.

If it's really asleep, the Power Button is glowing.

If Power-Button is glowing, does pressing it wake it reliably?

Having the same issue with a 2 week old computer. One monitor. And no pressing the illuminated tower button does not wake the machine. It does nothing unless you press and hold it to power down and then restart tower

You guys should really start your own threads. This is not really related to OP.

To allow your computer to wake with a mouse click requires a BIOS option change. Try these settings:

Disabled - Intel Ready Mode Tech
Enabled - DeepSleep Control in S4 and S5
Enabled - USB Wake Support in S3 (Can wake from Sleep with Mouse now)
