How to Prevent Your Laptop from Sleeping When the Lid is Closed

By default, when you close the lid to your laptop, it is automatically put to sleep. This feature helps conserve energy, extend battery life, and prevent the laptop from overheating when not in use.

If you're connecting your laptop to an external display, you may want to dock the laptop or move it out of the way so that you can use an external mouse or keyboard with the display. In order to prevent the laptop from sleeping when you close the lid, you can adjust the Power Settings in Windows.
