    Laptop shutting down when lid is closed for more than 2-3 hours


    Recently, my laptop has been shutting itself down when left idle for long enough, even though I have it set to sleep when closed. I've looked through the power and battery settings and couldn't find anything that shuts the laptop down automatically. I've tried turning off fast startup and downloading all available Windows updates, but nothing works.I have an HP laptop with Windows 11 with build 26100.3037. The processor is an AMD Ryzen 5 7520 U.

  2. Laptop shuts down 2 minutes after lid is closed despite "lid closed action = do nothing"

    ASUS Zephyrus G15 Laptop

    I have an external monitor plugged into my laptop and I would like to use it with the lid closed. Despite having it set to do nothing when lid is closed, the laptop shuts down 2 minutes after the lid is closed.

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

    Hi Gan,

    This scenario happens when your Power Options is misconfigured. For us to have this isolated, we suggest that you follow these steps:

    • Click on Start.
    • Select Settings.
    • Click on System.
    • Select Power & sleep tab.
    • On the right side, click on Additional power settings.
    • On the left pane, select Choose what closing the lid does.
    • Under Power button and lid settings, click the drop down next to
      When I close the lid.
    • Select Shut down.
    • Click on Save changes button.
    • When you’re ready to make your PC shut down, close your laptop's lid.

    Note: Every time that you will close the lid, your laptop will automatically shut down.

    Let us know if you have other concerns.
