Windows 10: Second screen only setting does not persist when you open and close the the lid to power on...

I had selected second screen only setting before shutting down my machine and it does not persist when you open and close the the lid to power on machine. When I manually have selected the second screen only it should not switch back to extend screen mode regardless of what else I do like opening the lid. If I would want the extended screens then I will select that. But this automatic fall back from second screen to extended when one opens the lid is very annoying.

Closing Laptop Lid Powers On Computer

I ran the power troubleshooter and it adjusted the dims setting, changed power plans, and adjusted the screen brightness. I did a clean boot and reset the power plans to default but the problem remains.

When I shut down and leave the lid open, it shuts down and powers back on. If I shut down and close the lid, it stays off. Then to power on, I have to open and close the lid.

Edit: Closing the lid powers off and opening the lid powers on. It also reboots after shutdown if lid is left open.

 

Lid setting does not recoginize power status change

We manage the policy to set the “When I close the lid:” setting on our laptops to "Sleep" on battery and "Do Nothing" on plugged in. In the basic scenarios, the results are expected:

• With the laptop plugged in, I closed the lid and re-opened. It was not in sleep mode.
  
• With the laptop running on battery, I closed the lid and re-opened. It was in sleep mode.
  

However, with the laptop plugged in, I close the lid and then unplug the power cable to put it on battery and then opened the lid. It is not in sleep mode. Is this an issue with the Windows 10 power management, or is there
a setting where this can be corrected?
