Power options and action for a lid,sleep,turn off


@stashek, you shouldn't need to look in the registry, you should be able to find all that in the Control Panel.

Look at Control Panel > Power options and click 'Choose what the power button does' or 'Choose what closing the lid does' from the list near the top at the left.

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK

Hi,

To assist you better, share the information.

- What power option have you set when your laptops' lid is closed? have you set the power option to Sleep or Hibernate?


I Suggest you to check with the Power options. To go to power options, press Start, type Power Options into the search space and select the same from the list, and follow the below steps:


1.On the Select a power plan page, click Choose what closing the lid does.
2.On the Define power buttons and turn on password protection page, next to When I close the lid, choose what you want your laptop to do, both for when it's running on battery and when it's plugged in.
3.Click Save changes.

Keep us posted if you need further assistance. We will be glad to assist you.

Thank you
