XPS 15 Wifi Issue and DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE
Hello,
I've had an XPS 15 for almost 2 years now and it has run great. However, recently (last couple of weeks), it has started to have some issues with the wifi. It will display the yellow warning on the wifi icon as if the connection is no longer connected to the internet, but then when I click the wifi icon to try to open up the available networks to disconnect and reconnect, it looks as if there are no wifi networks available, which is definitely incorrect. The only way I can get the wifi networks to show again is to restart my computer. Going into airplane mode or disabling the wifi adapter does nothing.
This issue happens sporadically. Sometimes I can go a few days of light use without issue, but other times it happens every 10 minutes for an hour. It has been annoying, but I have been dealing with it.
Very recently (last week), some of the times when I have restarted, it has given the "DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE" and the blue error screen. This has obviously been very concerning to me.
Any idea or help on what could be causing this issue would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Kyle
