Type C HDMI port

Hi,

My laptop is HP, it has "charge while sleeping" option (meaning working like a powerbank for phone even when i shut laptop down).

Recently i use its HDMI port (type C) to connect to an external monitor.

Problem is when i shut my laptop down, i left the HDMI cable as it is, then the monitor drain my laptop battery (40% overnight).

I turn this "sleep charge" feature off in BIOS but then the port stop working too.

I dont want to plug the cable out each time because the port is old and sluggish, cant plug in my laptop 24/7 neither.

Is there another way?

Thank you in advance.

HDMI port

Yeah, Barbara, that would be it if it's the only HDMI port.

Have you installed the camera software? Be sure to read the instructions closely and follow each step. It may or may not have you plug into the port later. So read all the steps through first.
