9380 Usb C Port - Restart always needed

Hi!

I have a dell XPS13 9380, and I have found that the USB C port continues to be temperamental. One problem I am facing is that the USB C port seems to die when disconnecting and reconnecting video devices. In order to get it working again, a full restart is needed. For example, right now I am using an eGPU (Razor Core Chroma) with 2 external monitors. Everything works great, but if I put the computer to sleep and then reopen, usually I need to restart the computer before I can get the monitors up and going again. I have about 3 different USB C docks, and have experienced similar issues with the others also, so it seems to be an issue with the laptop. I should note that charging often still works, even if the monitors don't.

A full restart consistently fixes the issue, and the USB C ports all work fine again. At this stage, my biggest question is, is there a way to restart the USB C ports without doing a full computer start.

Thanks!

Brian

There have been several updates to the port but none have fixed this issue.
