Windows 10: hdmi turns off laptop if lid is closed

i already tried different tv and hdmi cable, also reinstalled nvidia etc... soo basically i can't use it unless the lid is open, without hdmi, it works, but as soon as i plug it in and close that lid, it turns off after 1 minute, yes i already edited "choose what lid does when closed" its set on "do nothing", any suggestions?

HDMI Audio disables itself when lid is closed

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

• What is the make and model of your PC?
  

This issue could be possibly be due to the laptop speakers taking priority over the HDMI when the lid is closed. You may want to try the methods listed below and check if it works:



Method 1

Unplug and re-plug the HDMI cable:

• Close the lid and unplug the HDMI connection from laptop.
  
• Wait for a few seconds and plug the HDMI back in.
  

Method 2

Manage Default Audio Device:

• Right click the Speaker icon on the taskbar and choose
  Sounds.
  
• Under the Playback tab, set the
  HDMI Output as the Default device.
  

Note: If HDMI
is not visible, right click on a blank space under the Playback
tab and choose Show disabled devices.



Let us know how it goes.

Regards,

 

Laptop restarts after closing the lid

Hi,

It appears that your laptop hibernates when you close its lid. This feature terminates running processes on your machine since it allows the system to use very little power. If
Do nothing is already selected for Choose what closing the lid does
in Power Options, let's try to make hibernation unavailable. Follow these steps:

• Right-click on the Windows icon on your home screen.
• Select Command Prompt (Admin).
• Click Yes if you get a prompt window.
• Type powercfg.exe /hibernate off then press Enter.

See if this will prevent the laptop from hibernating when you close the lid.

Let us know how it turns out.

 

Laptop, Dual Display, Lag with closed lid

Hi,

I just bought some monitor to use with my Dell laptop and connected it through the HDMI port of the second graphics display. The problem is that when I close the lid, the laptop automatically turns off the laptop display and stops using the internal video card which leads to minor lag when using the new monitor with only the second graphics display being active.

Obviously the solutions are:
1) Somehow force the internal video card to still be used
2) Stop the turning off of the laptop display when the lid is closed (I don't have such option in control panel -> power options)

Any ideas how to go fix this besides not closing the lid at all?
