Is the Dell DP or HDMI
How many video ports in total does the Dell have. The “worked once but doesn’t work now” scenario sounds like something popped. Again it could be down to bad or incompatible HDMI cables or your TVs HDMI port.
If Windows 10 still exists on the Dell go down that route first with CEC. The perceived wisdom is CEC is a total pita. Most of the functionality you seem to require from it could be achieved via TCP/IP

Please tell me how I can control Kodi using a TV remote over TCP/IP.

Here’s an example of what can be achieved.
Do a bit of research based on that concept.
No doubt you’ve seen the difficulties that surround the whole subject of CEC. It really is hit and miss and not a lot of support with it either. As you can see here there isn’t a huge response to your query.
I’ve no idea what device you purchased but reading through this it may be suitable for your needs but again you’ll only ever really know when you have it in your hands to test. https://www.pulse-eight.com/p/104/usb-hdmi-cec-adapter
Had a look at that link and its going the opposite way to what I'm looking for - I don't want to control the TV from something else I want the TV to send command to Kodi.
That's the one I have - I couldn't find anything else.

If you’re intent on CEC then the Raspberry Pi seems like your only option. I’ve no idea if you’ve tried or not or if you succeeded. Seems to be the most logical choice at this stage.
