Dell laptop sleep button2/27/2023 ![]() ![]() The usual method is to use “rundll32.exe powrprof.dll,SetSuspendState 0,1,0”. The main problem is that if you have enabled hibernate as I have the usual sleep method hibernates rather than sleeps. However, as I found a few “gotchas” I’ve outlined the steps here. It’s easy to add a shortcut to enter sleep mode and put it on the Start Screen and Desktop taskbar. However that means when in tablet mode there is no way to enter sleep mode, something you really need when transporting the device to avoid accidental touch events causing mayhem. When in Laptop mode I want the power button to instigate hibernate as shutting the lid will put it into sleep mode. Specifically the problem is wanting slightly different power behaviour between laptop and tablet modes, something the stock Windows 8 options do not allow for. One thing has been annoying me,though, and that is the lack of flexibility in sleep modes. I’m really happy with the Dell XPS 12 convertable ultrabook I’m now using as my workhorse machine, even after seeing the lighter Lenovo Yoga at the recent Presperity4All project kick-off meeting. ![]()
