Control Panel -> Power & Sleep -> Additional Power Settings -> Choose What Closing the Lid Does -- nm - Reagen Apr 20, 05:48 9
- when I close the lid "do nothing" is selected. -- nm - amanda Apr 20, 05:51 8
  - Is "Do nothing" selected for both plugged in and on battery? -- nm - Inigo Apr 20, 06:00 1
    - yes. -- nm - amanda Apr 20, 06:07
  - Double check that the monitor you want on is still the primary display. -- nm - Reagen Apr 20, 05:55 5
    - yes correct. -- nm - amanda Apr 20, 06:07 1
      - A more complex solution if that doesn't solve it - Reagen Apr 20, 06:10

      - I will try this when my zoom is over; thanks. (it's very odd to me that it just started doing this when I moved.) -- nm - amanda Apr 20, 06:10 1
        
        it's like the old programmer's maxim: if it's working, don't touch it. -- nm - Reagen Apr 20, 06:11
