XPS 13 9320 - Second external display not coming on after sleep

XPS 13 Plus 9320

XPS 13 Plus 9320

When connected to two display via a Dell docking station and the displays go into sleep mode (not the laptop itself), after a wake up, the laptop display and the main-defined external display wake up but the second does not.

Both external displays are Dell.

I have tried many remedies I found here but nothing worked.

Thank you.

If your Dell XPS 13 9320's second external display isn't waking up after sleep, try updating drivers, checking power settings, and verifying cable connections, or consider a clean boot to troubleshoot potential conflicts. 

Here are some troubleshooting steps.

1. Update Drivers:
  • Graphics Driver:Outdated or corrupted graphics drivers can cause display issues.Update your Intel Graphics driver to the latest version from the Dell website.
  • Monitor Driver:Ensure you have the latest drivers for your monitor as well.
  • Chipset Driver:Update your chipset driver
  • BIOS:Update your BIOS

2. Check Power Settings:
Power Plan:
Go to "Power and Sleep" settings in Windows and create a new power plan (e.g., "Balanced"). 
Monitor Power Settings:
Ensure your monitor is set to "Always On" or "Never Sleep" in its power settings.

<Do not start a new thread. Reply to this thread. DELL_Admin>

I am experiencing second external monitor not waking up after a display timeout. I have XPS 9320 with DELL Thunderbolt docking station. The DELL software and Windows 11 Pro are up to date. The monitor comes to live after I disconnect and reconnect the USB connection from the PC to the docking station. Please let me know how I can overcome this situation.

@MarkXPS13@Jebediah02 @kmiller0313 

I swapped my dock with a another WD22TB4 unit from company supply and set up one monitor via the TB port, one in the DP port, and the third from the HDMI port. With this config, and maybe the replacement dock, I was able to get this back to the "expected performance" where it wakes after timeout on the monitors. As a side note, my laptop is disabled from SLEEP by my admins. Good luck!
