Windows 10: Is there a option to Sleep after laptop is unplugged and the lid is closed.

I have this little quirk that has left me with a dead battery a few times since XP. The situation I'm in is when I have a laptop that's hooked up to a External Monitor/KB/Mouse, then I go to leave, unplug the laptop, stow it, later on arrive with a dead battery. It arrives dead because it remained on until its in Low/Critical battery state, And its set that way to stay on, when being used as a desktop with lid closed.


As for the Power Options:

the Lid Closed will do nothing when plugged in (to use as desktop)

Lid is closed on battery will got to Sleep


The Main Question is:

Is there an option to go to sleep (minutes) after laptop has been unplugged and lid is closed

:)

 

Laptop goes to sleep when the LID is closed while playing the game.

Laptop not sleeping when lid is closed and plugged in

Thank you for your help

Unfortunately this has not helped but I have made some interesting observations for the past 2 weeks

My laptop still has this problem in both sleeping and hibernating

It won't sleep or hibernate fully when I press the buttons in the start menu which forces me to hard shut down my laptop

But closing the lid with a small amount of force allows the laptop to sleep

And when I boot it up in safe mode closing the lid hibernates the laptop

Any suggestions???

Thanks in advance

 

Laptop does not shutdown when i click shutdown and close the lid, it sleeps instead.
