  1. Windows 10 Education - closing lid set to 'do nothing' doesn't work


    Typically, when I close the lid on my laptop, whatever is on the display moved to one of two external monitors. Today, my display froze, and I restarted. When I restarted, my monitor position had changed in the settings, and now, when I close my laptop, whatever is on the laptop display stays on the laptop, and there is no way to access it with the lid closed.Closing the lid is set to "do nothing".What do I need to change so that whatever is on the laptop display will move to an external monitor when I close the lid?

    :)

    Windows doesn`t start. Authomatic repair doesn`t work.

    Thanks again!!

    I`m sorry I had not noticed that the text on the picture was in spanish. It says that windows has replaced some damaged clusters in "name" file and "directory". Then, at the end "an unspecified error occurred (75736e6a726e6c2e 4f6)".

    I`ll do it and I`ll be updating this thread when I have the report.

    I ran SeaTools. These are the results:

    Does it mean my HDD is useless?

    Windows 10 Education - closing lid set to 'do nothing' doesn't work

    Screen doesn´t turn off when Notebook is closed after latest Windows 11 Update

    Hello Sumit,

    unfortunately my fix seems not to be working properly either. It worked at first but doesn´t anymore.

    I have since then tried reverting to a previous version but with no luck. The problem seems to persist.

    I considered it being a hardware issue, Meaning the Notebook doesn´t realize the lid is closed. But that wouldn´t explain why my previous fix worked temporarily.

    What is your thought on this?

    -Felix
