Swift 3 SF314-59 will not wake from sleep when lid is closed

Swift 3 laptop SF314-59-75QC, Windows 11.

I keep the laptop closed and connected via the USB-C port to a (Dell) docking station, to use an external keyboard, monitors etc.

I would like to be able to wake the laptop without raising the lid. The option "USB Wake From S4" is Enabled in the BIOS, but I have not found a way to wake it without raising the lid and pressing the Power button.

If I connect the same docking station to another (Dell) laptop, and press a button on the dock, it will wake that laptop. But this doesn't work with the Acer Swift 3.

Also tried pugging a keyboard into each of the Swift's USB-A ports, and pressing various keys, but this does not wake it either.

@forestial Check your windows USB settings to see if the USB ports are put to suspended state when system goes into sleep.

Open Control Panel. Search 'button'. Click 'change what the power button do' in left pane. Click when I close the lid dropdown. Choose do nothing.

Also make sure the keyboard and mouse aren't turning off power when sleeping. You need the keyboard and mouse awake in order for them to wake the laptop.
