Windows 10: Windows Laptop Goes to Sleep When Playing League on Secondary Display with Lid Closed

I have an HP spectre x360. When I play League of Legends on the secondary display with the lid closed, the laptop goes to sleep.


I have changed the power settings and set the action of "when I close the lid" to "do nothing" for both on battery and plugged in. I do not have problem with watching youtube vids in full screen mode. I also tried to run the game in windowed mode, it didn't make a difference. OS goes to sleep after about 2 mins into the game.


When I just open the lid but with the projection setting set to "secondary display only" and the built-in display completely off, the issue went away. I have no clue is this a design choice or a bug.


Helps appreciated.

Windows 10 sleeps when using external monitor and closing the laptop lid.

Hey Likitha

Thanks for your response.

Before we assist further, I would like to ask you a few questions:

• Have you set Sleep function to activate on closing the laptop lid?
• Did you check if the laptop goes to sleep when not connected to external monitor and lid closed?

To respond to your questions

(1) I have set the sleep function to operate on laptop lid close only when the laptop is on battery power. When it is plugged in I have set it to do not sleep ever.

(2) I have tested that it does *not* go to sleep when I the laptop is plugged in and I close the laptop lid

Further information:

(1) When I first turned the laptop on I attached it to the monitor and closed the lid. It then ran successfully for approximately an hour before hibernating.

(2) I then restarted the system, external monitor plugged in, lid closed and it went to hibernate after approximately 2 minutes.
