How does Alt+SysRq work on a DellXPS13?

  • 772

sometimes my laptop freezes and normally I use the "magic SysRQ" combination to reboot it.

How does this work on my DellXPS13 ?

The closest question I could find was this one: How to get Alt+SysRq work on a Dell Latitude E6530?. But no matter which combination I try it does not work.

I am using a German QWERTZ-Keybardlayout but I think that should make no difference for the SysRq key.

Thanks!

  1. On an XPS 13 9380, first enable the media keys by pressing Fn+Esc.
    Afterwards Alt+PrtScr will trigger SysRq.

    Another option is to Fn+R+Alt but you'll have to release Fn to trigger a command key.

  2. It may depend on the Dell XPS 13 model. For the 7390, the Setup and Specifications" brochure indicates that SysReq is represented by Fn+R. You may try if that works for you, although no indication about SysRq is available in the manual of your model, the 9360.
