Laptop restarts after closing the lid

Hi,

It appears that your laptop hibernates when you close its lid. This feature terminates running processes on your machine since it allows the system to use very little power. If
Do nothing is already selected for Choose what closing the lid does
in Power Options, let's try to make hibernation unavailable. Follow these steps:

• Right-click on the Windows icon on your home screen.
• Select Command Prompt (Admin).
• Click Yes if you get a prompt window.
• Type powercfg.exe /hibernate off then press Enter.

See if this will prevent the laptop from hibernating when you close the lid.

Let us know how it turns out.

 

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

 

How to keep laptop on after closing lid..windows 10

Hi Riddhik,

Thank you for posting on Microsoft Communities.

I will be glad to help you with the issue you have with the computer. I understand the frustration when things don't work the way it should.

Please follow the below steps to keep the laptop working even when you close the lid:

1. Open Run and type powercfg.cpl and press Enter. This will open the Power Options applet of the Control Panel.

2. In the Power Option window that opens up, click ‘Choose what closing the lid does’ link from the left side panel.

3. Choose what closing the laptop lid does. Under Power button and lid settings section you can find ‘When I Close the Lid’ option.

4. You can choose from Do Nothing, Sleep, Shutdown and Hibernate.

You should choose Shut down if you want to shut down Windows as soon as you close the lid. Select the desired option and click
Save changes to save the settings.

If you want to keep your laptop running even with the lid closed, select
Do Nothing.

Hope this information is helpful. Please post in case you have any further issues, we will be glad to help you further.

Thank you.
