XPS 13 automatically power on
my xps 13 power on itself automatically, no matter it's plugin or unplugged, it has been nightmare for me for years, sometimes I shut down the computer put on the backpack and it's turned on and cause super hot, very dangerous especially when I am on the airplane, because of that, I have changed 2 new batteries, I did research found many others had the same issue and without any solution, but I still want to try, it's very annoying, I hate this computer every night boots itself,, every night.

You can try in command prompt:
powercfg -lastwake
It could give you the last wake reason. I've seen this problem on Dell computers, it's wide spread and very dangerous. Sometimes the last wake reason is blank, meaning the BIOS itself woke the computer (not windows or any program running in it)! There is a bug in the BIOS somewhere causing it to wake.
Super dangerous, I have experienced this myself. Almost burned down my condo. How is this legal?
