Windows 10: How to stop Windows detecting laptop display after closing program

I'm using a laptop with a HDMI to my monitor. I use my laptop with my laptop lid down so the only screen used is the monitor.When I close certain programs such as FL Studio or Armoury Crate, Windows detects my laptop lid as open and moves all my programs across meaning I can't access them without opening and closing my laptop lid. This then causes my laptop to lock.

Laptop display does not detect itself

Hi,

I only have 1 computer (the laptop) and 1 external monitor. The laptop cannot detect its own screen.

So when I follow your steps, this is what happens:

• Go to Settings. (Done)
• Click on System. (Done)
• Under System, choose Display. (Done)
• Under Multiple displays, click on Duplicate these displays and apply. (Done)
• But then I undock my laptop and redock. Re-login, etc.
• Only the external display turns on. The laptop does not turn on its own display. In order to get the laptop display to wake up, I need to follow steps 1-4 again. The settign "Duplicate these displays" does not seem to be retained.
