Windows 10: After win 11 23H2 update laptop shutsdown when lid is closed even when set to sleep

With no changes other than the win 11 update for 23H2 my computer now shuts down when the laptop lid is closed for a while. My compute is set to 'sleep' whenever the laptop lid is closed for all power plans. Yet when I close the lid and come back hours later, the computer is shutdown. This didn't happen before the update so I can only assume this update changed something in how the computer handles going to sleep or how that sleep mode is managed when the laptop lid is closed.

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.
