KEEP YOUR LAPTOP TURNED ON WHILE ITS LID IS CLOSED

Today, I am going to explain you how to keep your laptop ON even while the lid is closed. Read the following steps carefully and do it.                             



1) First, you need to open local group policy editor. (To open Local Group Policy Editor: Open Run [Windows key+ R]. Then type: Gpedit.msc


2) Now go to “Administrative Templates”. (It’s right there. Just under the heading Local Computer Policy.)


3) When you go to Administrative Templates, you will see some options. Choose All settings from the options ( In my laptop, it’s the last option)


4) Are you there yet? If so scroll down until you see “Select the lid switch action(plugged in)”.


5) Go there and change the setting to “Enabled”. Normally it will be in “Not Configured”.


6) Then Change the options in it to “Take no action”. This will make your laptop take no action even if the lid is closed.


Note: This is only in (plugged in). This means if the laptop is not plugged in it may shut down or hibernate. But don’t worry. If you want it to take no action when closed while it’s running on its battery, then do one more change in the settings. For this when you have finished the “Plugged in” Settings (Step 4, 5, 6) close that window and scroll down to see “Select the lid switch action (battery)”. Go there and Follow the Steps 5 and 6.

Enjoy!!!
