Windows 10: Windows 11 closing lid set to 'do nothing' doesn't save

When you set 'When I close the lid' > 'Plugged in' > 'Do nothing' It will stay and work initially, but as soon as you unplug the laptop from it's dock or monitors it reverts the settings back to 'When I close the lid' > 'Plugged in' > 'Sleep' We are on Windows 11 and have found this problem with 3 laptops we've tested with, I assume this is company wide but not many use this feature or those that do often leave their laptops plugged in at their desksLaptop models I've tested this onell Latitude 7530Dell Latitude 7440Dell Latitude 5530

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?

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.
