Windows 10: Plugged in laptop does not sleep after closing the lid

When my computer is plugged in, it does not sleep or lock my screen when I close the lid. I've tried changing my settings to "Sleep" and "Hibernate" under "When I close the lid" setting, but it still continues to be unlocked and running while plugged in. This has been a problem ever since I updated to Windows 11 a few months ago. Could you please help me resolve it?

Laptop not sleeping when lid is closed and plugged in

Thanks, but nothing has helped.

But i have made some interesting observations.

When my laptop is running on battery and has been off the charger for a while and i sleep by closing the lid, it usually doesn't work and the fan still runs

But when I close the lid with a bit more force it recognizes and goes into sleep state

It doesn't work when its plugged in and pressing the power button doesn't make it sleep either.

I tried hibernating using the start menu but the fan remains on and i have to hard shut down every time

Any suggestions???

Thanks in advance

 

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

 

Windows 10 sleeps when using external monitor and closing the laptop lid.

Hey Likitha

Thanks for your response.

Before we assist further, I would like to ask you a few questions:

• Have you set Sleep function to activate on closing the laptop lid?
• Did you check if the laptop goes to sleep when not connected to external monitor and lid closed?

To respond to your questions

(1) I have set the sleep function to operate on laptop lid close only when the laptop is on battery power. When it is plugged in I have set it to do not sleep ever.

(2) I have tested that it does *not* go to sleep when I the laptop is plugged in and I close the laptop lid

Further information:

(1) When I first turned the laptop on I attached it to the monitor and closed the lid. It then ran successfully for approximately an hour before hibernating.

(2) I then restarted the system, external monitor plugged in, lid closed and it went to hibernate after approximately 2 minutes.
