Windows 10: I am trying to convince my tablet to turn off the display when the lid is closed. I get this:

In short, there is no option to turn off the screen in windows 10 for my tablet, when I close the lid.

I have it for the power button, doe. Thing is, both are controlled by the same .dll so I can not simply replace the .dll , nor edit it, as it is hexadecimal.


In CMD, I get this info:

I want to add this:

Possible Setting Index: 004 Possible Setting Friendly Name: Turn off the display


If any of you is able to turn off the screen when closing the lid, I would be grateful if you could share the powrprof.dll located in System32, so I can try to replace them.


This is the Registry

\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\PowerSettings\4f971e89-eebd-4455-a8de-9e59040e7347\5ca83367-6e45-459f-a27b-476b1d01c936


Any other suggestion is welcomed.

Keep display ON when lid is closed

I'm running Windows 10 on an ASUS laptop. I have the power settings set to "do nothing" when the lid is closed. However, the display turns off when the lid is closed. When I reopen the lid, it immediately comes back up, and is not in sleep mode. But
it prevents my security camera from recording when the lid is closed because it records based on the display on the screen. I've checked the Display and Power settings and everything appears correct. Is there a workaround or a setting that I'm missing?
