Windows 10: Laptop (Dell XPS 13) goes sleeping randomly

My laptop goes sleeping randomly (1). I observed that right before that happens, the Power-LED flashes in yellow color (5 fast flashes). Sometimes when the LEDs flash in that way, I move the mouse to prevent the PC to go to sleep and it appears to work. Because of that LED-flashing I think it might be a Dell-Issue and not a Windows-Issue? After the LED-flashing, for half a second there is a Windows-Screen stating "Locking". After that the PC goes into sleep mode (I can wake it up afterwards and the active apps are still there).

I tried a few things which did not work:

• Windows is updated to newest version.
• Screen Saver is turned off (also, box "loginpage..." unchecked).
• Automatic Sleep/Standby after some time is deactivated.
• I set the BIOS settings to "defaults".

All this happens since a week or so. I replaced the battery two months ago. Since I could not find a genuine replacement, I built in a third party battery. Another issue that came with the battery replacement: Sometimes the LED flashes yellow (slow continuous) without consequences until I restart it (2). I am disappointed of dell on the one hand not offering a authentic battery for a PC I bought in ca. 2017 and on the other hand not accepting third party batteries.

Model: XPS 13 9350
Windows 10 Home

Does anybody has the same issues, i.e. (1) and/or (2)? Can anybody help?

Thanks!

Dell XPS 13 (9370) Getting Warm in Sleep Mode

I like my laptops to sleep when I close the lid and have set this up on my next Dell XPS 13.

When I put my other laptops to sleep they are stone cold but the Dell XPS stays as warm in sleep as it gets when doing light browsing.

I have run the powercfg /a and - energy reports and see that S3 doesn't seem to be supported and the XPS is using some other "sleep" protocol.

Can anyone tell me what I need to do to get this to sleep cold - Dell don't seem to have a clue.

Thanks

Jon

Still fighting with this issue...

I tried to install all the recommended drivers from Dell and keep doing it during the last few months.

But it did not solve my issue (new Dell XPS 13), PC does not goes to sleep mode but keeps a clean boot.

Got use to it...fact it is very annoying!!!
