Hi Dave,



Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community. I regret the inconvenience caused to you. Let me help you.



From the description provided, I can understand that your laptop screen is not locked when you close the lid.

I would also suggest you to try to restore the settings for the power options settings in Windows to default and then again set it to your preference.

Press Windows key and R from the keyboard to open the Run Command Dialog Box.

Type the following commands:

• 
  Disable the sleep mode option: powercfg -h off.
  
• 
  Reset and Restore All Power Plans to Default:
  powercfg -restoredefaultschemes

• Under Power button and lid settings, click the drop down next to
  When I close the lid.
• Select Shut down.
• Click on Save changes button.
• When you’re ready to make your PC shut down, close your laptop's lid.
  

Note: Every time that you will close the lid, your laptop will automatically shut down.
