DELL XPS 13 2017 model battery draining while laptop ASLEEP
My DELL XPS 13 2017 model battery getting drained for no reason while laptop is asleep. I have XPS 13 2017 model i7 16GB 512SSD.
Any solution to this problem?
I have updated all the drivers, firmwares, removed all wake up PC power options, and there's no wake up timer, this is depressing, and gravely disappointing.
I thought this laptop can last 7 hours with standard usage, but even sleep mode wouldn't last me 7 hours -_-

Some things you might start with are what is the exact model of the XPS 13 and open an administrative command prompt and type the following. Let us know what the listing shows.
powercfg /a

The listing you show is a little confusing. I thought the 9360 was a Modern Standby system like my 9365, but I suppose I was wrong.
If it isn't draining power while in a low power mode, the sleep should last as long as you have it set and then hibernation will stop the battery drain. But you have hibernation disabled...
On my 9365 it shows 5 1/2 hours remaining from 100% for normal usage. Since nothing is actually running on my side, that number will decrease as I open utilities.
If you have made any modifications to your system power capabilities, you might explain what you did.
