    Win 10 - Laptop screen & hard drive are randomly on when the lid is closed...


    In the power settings I have it set to go to sleep when I close the lid.

    Most of the time this works properly

    But seemingly randomly I come back to the computer two hours later

    and the screen and hard drive are working when the machine is supposed to be sleeping.


    VERY FRUSTRATING!!!

    :)

    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.

    LID close screen still on


    Well, it was worth checking.

    How long have you had this Asus ROG? Has it ever turned off the screen when the lid is closed?

    The last post in this thread suggests it may be a hardware problem, the section starting 'Here's an interesting story about the GL502VS in general' describes a sequence of replacements from Asus, one of which behaved this way. Oddly, the OP actually wanted this behaviour.

    Lock Screen on lid close

    When I close the lid of the laptop the screen doesn't lock automatically like it used to do on windows 8, it doesn't do anything. I also cannot find any settings on that on windows 10. Any directions or suggestions?
