Windows 10: how to use Windows 11 laptop with external monitor, keyboard and mouse?

Setting: Dell laptop now Windows 11 with external monitor and wireless Logitech keyboard and mouse.It's a configuration many use, and it all worked well in Windows 10.Now in 11, we first encountered a problem getting the external monitor to display when closing the laptop lid. This was handled with changing power setting at "when I close the lid" to "do nothing"; We were enthused when after closing the lid the external monitor did indeed stay on.

Windows 10 External Monitor only :: How to set Portrait orientation?

Thanks Elise,

I surmise the need for step recorder is not common enough to justify enabling the option for Intel driver.

Screen Capture Mouse Cursor position on External Monitor is why I create this post.

When it cannot capture Mouse Position, I use Steps Recorder but it records both Displays...

My Screen Capture is used for following:

1. Power Automate Cloud
   
2. Office 365
   
3. communicate to Tech Support
   

Hoping Microsoft would add features to next version of

1. Step Recorder
   
2. Snip App(s)
   
3. Windows Display setting
   

Assuming most users like me need

1. Mouse cursor position captured by Snip App(s)
   
2. External monitor, when used, is often
   
   1. to extend Display
      
   2. used for important task(s)
      
   3. App such as Office is on External Display
      
   4. Laptop monitor for secondary task(s)
      
   5. Step Recorder is to demo use of Single App, therefore External Monitor
      
   6. Portrait oriented for capturing web pages like Power Automate
      

Kind Regards,
