Windows – Prevent screen turning off when lid is closed

displaylaptopwindowswindows 10

Is there a way to prevent the screen from being turned off when a laptop's lid is closed? The power-action for closing the lid is already "do nothing".

Best Answer

Go to gpedit.msc and setting the Select the lid switch action options for both "on battery" and "plugged in" to "Enabled" and then restart the PC.

Navigate via gpedit.msc | Computer Configuration | Administrative Templates | System | Power Management | Button Settings | set both the "Select the lid switch action" options to Enabled. Be sure to set the Lid switch action to a value of Take no action as well.

Be sure to fully power cycle and reboot the machine once you apply these settings
