Hello All,
I'm using a Dell Inspiron 7373 laptop connected to a Dell WD15 docking station and a 27" monitor via the dock. The laptop stays powered on through the dock. Its power settings automatically turn off the screen after 10 minutes of inactivity and put it to sleep after 30 minutes. To wake it up, I have to press a small button on the dock. I can't just move the mouse or tap the keyboard. I'm trying to find a way to disable this feature but haven't found any solutions online.

I believe because it's on a dock, you need to activate the wake button on the side. That seems to be the case with my setup.

there seems to be no way to turn off the sleep button on the dock. I couldn't find any information about it.
