    Is it safe to close my lid before seeing the shutdown screen complete?


    I have the Acer Nitro 5 AN515-53.I set my close lid to do nothing, can I safely close my lid while shutting down? What if the option was on sleep, hibernate, or shutdown?Assuming I don't do the last three, it's safe to do so if it's a normal shutdown or even for an update?

    :)

    LID close screen still on

    Well, it was worth checking.

    How long have you had this Asus ROG? Has it ever turned off the screen when the lid is closed?

    The last post in this thread suggests it may be a hardware problem, the section starting 'Here's an interesting story about the GL502VS in general' describes a sequence of replacements from Asus, one of which behaved this way. Oddly, the OP actually wanted this behaviour.

    Is it safe to close my lid before seeing the shutdown screen complete?

    Does closing the lid stop Windows updates completing?

    Thanks for replies. The laptop is set to 'Shutdown' (not sleep) when closing the lid and my neighbour doesn't stay on the laptop long enough for updates to complete. She only checks email and a little web browsing. I reckon she is inadvertently stopping Windows from updating so that it is constantly trying to install them again every time she switches the laptop on. This is causing the laptop to be slow / unresponsive. After I intervene and complete the updates the laptop is OK again.

    I'll tell her to shut down by pressing the power button instead and look at the screen before closing the lid. This way she can delay closing the lid until the laptop powers off and then the updates will complete the install process at next switch-on.
