  1. Why does Windows sometimes shut down when I close my laptop?


    I have a dual-booted Framework 13 that has Ubuntu and Windows 11. I mainly use Windows for gaming and windows-exclusive software. Every once in a while, when I shut the lid of my laptop for a while or overnight, I will open it to find it powered off.

  3. When close lid during shutting down, PC go into sleep.

    Hello,
    I've got a problem (or a feature ? Not so sure) that when I finish my work, I shutting down my laptop, while waiting it to be shut down, I close the lid.
    The problem is when I close the lid, the laptop go into sleep mode, and when I back to work, I open the lid to press the power button and it resume the 'shut down' process.
    This hasn't happen before, any suggestion ? Many thanks Why does Windows sometimes shut down when I close my laptop? :)

    OS: Windows 10 Pro (build 14393.693) 64bits

    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.
