Dell used to have the option to disable "modern sleep" which is the root cause of all these problems. Dell in a later firmware update disabled the ability for end users to "fix" the problem on their end. This was about three years ago for the 9570 XPS model, they have not reverted this user-hostile action to my knowledge.

I still have my 9570 for gaming, just because I don't have the time to focus on replacing my windows laptop, but that's certainly the Last dell I plan on buying, I deal with laptop users regularly and this is one of the most common dell-specific complaints I hear/see.
