    I had a very SIMILAR problem. New 8940(arrived 9/30/21)and with the Dell Mouse and Keyboard only double pressing the ESC key doing it twice did wake it up. Last week, due to another reason, Dell replaced the motherboard. I recall that allowed the mouse shake to wake it up. I installed a Logitech Keyboard Mouse combo (MK540, did not like the size and feel of the Dell ones) and they work too.

    What are the correct settings in the Bios to allow wake on bluetooth.  In device manager wake on is grayed out.

    What Device is this?

    Is it allowed to turn it off to save power?

    What does your Power Plan say about Sleep?
