Windows 10: How to TurnOff Display while Lid is off

A few months back whenever I close my laptop lid Display turns off automatically which isn't happening as of now. Have checked all the settings related to the lid and power plan but the option to turn off the display while the lid is off is removed I think soo as I can't find that anywhere

Why I need this??

Sometimes I forgot to turn off or sleep on my pc and just close the lid and its display keeps on consuming my battery

even when I choose Sleep mode in the "close the lid" option in power settings

:)

 

"Only show 2" defaults to "Duplicate these displays" upon closing and reopening laptop lid

Hi,

I would suggest to try the following steps and check if it helps

• 
  Press the Win Key + X to display the
  system menu.
  
• 
  Select Control Panel.
  
• 
  Select Power Options.
  
• 
  On theleft side menu, select the Choose what closing the lid does option.
  
• 
  Look in the Power and sleep buttons and lid settings section.
  
• 
  Use the drop down menus in the
  When I close the lid section and select Do Nothing for both options.
  

I hope the information is helpful and if the error still persists, we’ll be glad to assists you.

Thank you.

 

sleep mode is like turnoff mode asus laptop

Hi there,

so my brand new Asus N551JX was working fine for the past week until suddenly when i closed the lid the laptop turned off completely killing all the apps even though it's set to sleep when i close the lid and when i open the lid
again it reboots normally, so i gave sleep option a try and it did the the same, thus i searched online, tried many solution but these trials were fruitless.
so to cut long story short my sleep option is working as turnoff option not a shut down a turnoff. and i want it to sleep

thx in advance

Upscaling incorrectly when closing the lid & connecting an external display on UHD laptops

Hello Ves,

Thank you for visiting Microsoft Community and providing us with the detailed description about the issue.

As per the description, I understand that you are experiencing issue with when you connect an external display and close the lid of the laptop, Windows upscale the desktop incorrectly and icons are zoomed ¾ times covering
the whole display area on the system.

I certainly understand your concern and will try my best to help you.

I would suggest you to try the following methods and check if that helps.

Method 1:

  Click or tap Settings on the right side of the screen, and then select Install optional updates from the left results.

  When the Windows Update control panel opens, click on “Check for Updates” on the top left corner to receive a fresh list of updates.
  

Step 3: If the issue persists, I would suggest you to uninstall and reinstall the Display driver. Please follow the steps mentioned below to uninstall the display driver.

  Open Device Manager.

  Expand Display adapters.

  Right-click the display card driver and click

  Windows will prompt you to confirm the device’s removal. Click OK to remove the driver.
