Open the Start menu and search for Control Panel. Navigate to Hardware and Sound > Power Options > Choose what closing the lid does. You can also type “Lid” into the Start menu to immediately find this menu.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Windows 10 normally puts your laptop into low-power sleep mode when you close the lid. This can be a problem when hooking your laptop up to an external<\/strong> monitor. Use<\/strong> the Control Panel\u2014not Windows 10’s Settings app\u2014to change this behavior.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n To do so, open Device Manager and under Mice and other pointing device locate your external wired\/wireless mouse. Go to Power Management tab and tick the checkbox that says Allow this device to wake the computer.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n You can now close the lid of your laptop when connected to an external<\/strong> monitor and use it without any hassle of your PC going to sleep or hibernate.<\/p>\n To wake up a computer or the monitor from sleep or hibernate, move the mouse or press any key on the keyboard. If this does not work, press the power button to wake up the computer. NOTE: Monitors will wake up from sleep mode as soon as they detect a video signal from the computer.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Once you plug the display into your laptop, you may be required to press one or more keys on the laptop’s keyboard to “activate” the external display. This shortcut key combination varies depending on the laptop, but is often one of the following: hold the Fn key, and then press F3 , F4 , F5 , F7 , F8 , F9 , or F10 .<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Yes, you need to connect a monitor or TV to the VGA port and a keyboard with a \u201cpower\u201d button on it to the USB or ps\/2 port. Then install the driver for that keyboard (can happen automatically on start-up) then go for the power control and deactivate the lid-switch.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n There is a BIOS setup setting on some systems called USB Wake Support, which can enable or disable the ability of a USB device to wake the system from the S3 state (Sleep). When enabled, USB devices can wake the system from S3 (example: USB mouse, USB keyboard).<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Most laptops also come with ports that allow you to hook up an external monitor. Plug a monitor into your laptop’s DisplayPort, DVI, or HDMI port and Windows will allow you to use both your laptop’s integrated display and the external monitor at once (see the instructions in the next section).<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Using it closed is perfectly fine. Using it without the battery is not good for the laptop or the battery. It’s not good for the laptop because the laptop uses the battery to supply power during demand spikes.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" On your laptop’s desktop, right-click the battery icon.
