Windows 10: irql_not_less_or_equal windows 10 opening lid laptop (Dell XPS)

Hey all,

I've been getting a really annoying issue/BSOD since yesterday (24/6/2019) on my Dell XPS 15 (9560).

It started first thing in the morning when I arrived at work, I opened my laptop and after a minute or 2 of use, I get a BSOD (irql_not_less_or_equal).

After I restarted and logged in again, I could use my laptop without any issues. However, during break, I closed the lid since I have to in regards to work safety and file privacy... So I closed the lid. After I opened it again, I got almost exactly the same time of use before I got the same BSOD.

To further validate the issue, I tested it a few times again and got the same result each time. This means that for 2 days now, I can't close or sleep my laptop during my work shift since everything will be closed and gone when I open it again due to the BSOD.

You can understand that this is a big issue knowing that I use my laptop for work. Putting it to sleep when I'm not around is essential for business privacy.

I have obviously tried some things myself first, before posting here. I used "Driver Booster Pro" to check all my drivers (something I've been doing for years) and found no missing,broken or faulty drivers.

I also installed every windows update up to this day which puts me at "Windows 10 HOME v. 1903"

After that, I check on Dell's website to make sure I had the latest BIOS and indeed had to update the firmware and everything to get it up-to-date. This means that I now have XPS_9560_1.14.3

Lastly, I also ran my antivirus FULL SCAN and used CMD to run sfc /scannow.

After all these attempts, I just had another BSOD before writing since I had to open my laptop an hour ago to start my work.

I haven't included any images or files here yet since I don't know which ones would be useful to you to help me solve this, so I'm happy to know what you need.

I really need this issue solved ASAP since I need to be able to work.

Thanks in advance!

:)

 

"Lid Open" function

By saying "Lid Open" I believe TopDog1961 is talking about waking up from sleep or hibernate mode. Unfortunately this seems to be broken for many people who upgraded to Windows 10 from Windows 7 or 8 across many different laptop/PC manufacturers.
Definitely something broken with Windows 10.

I am experiencing the same problems with my Dell XPS 17.

 

How to prevent laptop from waking on lid open when hibernated?


Hi, this might suggest something:

Do you have Home or Pro?

I note this task is not specified to wake the PC: (see Conditions)

 

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK
