XPS 13 Plus 9320, WD22TB4, wake issue
XPS 13 Plus 9320
I've received my XPS 13 Plus 9320 running Windows 11 Pro 64bit (build 22000) and WD22TB4 Thunderbolt Dock connected via USB to a wired mouse/keyboard. Latest BIOS (1.4.0) and drivers all installed. When the PC sleeps I can't wake it from the Mouse or Keyboard connected through the dock. If I reach over and press the XPS keyboard everything works fine - but it is a pain:-). I have unchecked "Allow this computer to turn off this device" power management options in all USB devices and where it is not greyed out checked the "Allow this device to wake the computer" option. Still no luck! I have had a response from Dell advising to "Disable “Deep Sleep Control" which also stops you having "Fast Start" and this does work, but this makes the start-up and other options slow/clunky! Any other options to allow wake from keyboard/mouse please?
Thanks, Peter

Well what did I know? Support Assist updated the BIOS to version 1.8.1 dated 14-Sep-2022 and with no other changes made to they system/dock wake from my WD22TB4 now works after any amount of time! I could not see this "bug fixed" it the release notes but it works:-). Peter

To receive assistance from Dell, click the DELL-Cares username. On the resulting page, click "Send this user a private message" and share the private XPS 13 Plus 9320 and WD22TB4 Service Tags with them. Or you may click the "Get help now" on the right to Chat with Dell agents.
I am curious about something. Please do this testing =
* Connect the provided AC power adapter to the XPS 13 Plus 9320 left side TB4/USB-C port
* Connect the WD22TB4 to the XPS 13 Plus 9320 right side TB4/USB-C port
* So now using two AC power adapters. Allow the XPS 13 Plus 9320 to enter sleep. Then try to wake it up. What happens? Same issue?

Hi Chris, thanks for the idea, I tried it this today. Sadly so far the same experience, when the PC has locked and turned off the screen I can only wake the screen/login by pressing a key on the XPS 13 Plus keyboard. Will continue continue to test today. Regards, Peter

I should have been clearer in my first reply, I can't edit that for whatever reason, here is what I meant to say:-). With the set up requested when the screen locks/blanks of course wake up from my USB desktop keyboard/mouse DOES work, it is only when the PC fully sleeps that they won't wake the PC. Ap[ologies, Peter

"it is only when the PC fully sleeps that they won't wake the PC"
Are you referring to S4 hibernate? The Dell BIOS does not support USB wake from S4 hibernate or S5 power off.
Where did you disable Deep Sleep Control? I do not see it in the XPS 9320 BIOS? In BIOS- Power I see Block Sleep (S3).
How is your XPS 9320 entering sleep mode? Lid close/press the power button/leave the system time out to sleep?
What are your Windows System Settings. See picture below as example =

Hi Chris, apologies for not being clearer, when I say "sleep" I am referring to what the PC does when left unattended for a longer period of time as defined in Windows 11 Pro, System, Power & battery, Screen and sleep. In my case when plugged in turn my screen off after 30 minutes and put my device to sleep after 2 hours.
I am not using S4 hibernate and not referring to S5 power off.
From my notes (I can check again and take photos if you would like?) I had to "Disable “Deep Sleep Control" and to do this I believe I also had to disable fast boot which makes a super fast PC very clunky!
I was following troubleshooting advise in what I think was a standard, but not accurate for my XPS13 Plus, article pasted in below.
Thanks, Peter
Please go through the information below and reply.
1. Allow the keyboard and mouse to wake up PC

The issue is still "verified no problem" on our platform and dock side in our testing. We need to know how to reproduce the issue. There should be some other BIOS settings the user needs to check, like “USB wake support”, “Wake on Dell USB-C Dock Dependency”, etc. Please list all BIOS settings you see for wake.

Thanks Chris, see below. Please note problem was first reported with BIOS 1.6 and I have now upgraded to 1.8.1.
Attached three BIOS setting screen shots, let me know if I am missing anything you need.
I went through device manager properties for all USB devices shown here
As before I have unchecked "Allow this computer to turn off this device" power management options in all USB devices and where it is not greyed out checked the "Allow this device to wake the computer" option. Some of these had changed from when I first posted this problem which I assume happened when I had to load BIOS defaults to get round my XPS13Plus not shutting down on BIOS 1.7 (different post).
Hope that helps, Peter

This looks a lot like a WD22TB4 related firmware or driver bug.
I also have the WD19TB3 docking station. I am always able to quickly wake up my laptop via keyboard or mouse when using WD19TB3.
My laptop is a Dell XPS 9310 2-in-1 with Windows 11. All Dell Update drivers are current, as well as all Windows updates.

I agree this is most likely, I had two docks previously, both worked well and the WD22TB4 is new in the UK market. I have latest firmware installed from 4-Jul-22. Hopeful the next release will address this:-) Peter
