It got disabled one day on my 8th Gen i7 XPS. It was driving me crazy trying to figure out why it keep cooking it self alive in my backpack. It's since been demoted to house use, sleep is still useless even after many FW updates and fresh os install. That thing used to last weeks on battery just closing the lid. Now it can't make it though the night. I wish I could turn it back on in this case, my new laptop is much better about it.

Sleep is no longer what it used to be. They killed off S3 sleep in favor of some always connected mode, much like you cell phone.

I don't think that mattered my case. 90% of my day was running around on battery, which was pretty decent at one point.

My 8th gen XPS used to support S3 and one update they killed it off. It kept finding the damn thing cooking it self in my bag. Had to resort to hibernation.
