1. A Step by
Step guide

2.  By default, most laptops will go into sleep mode once you
close its lid. This is great for when you want to quickly close
your laptop, put it in its bag and move somewhere.
 However, sometimes you want your laptop to keep running
while its lid is closed, such as when you are taking a short
break and will return to it a while.
 NOTE: Do NOT put your laptop in its bag while
it is running, it will probably overheat and
cause damage to itself.

3. Opening the power options menu
 First Method: click on the battery icon
on the lower right part of the taskbar
 Then, click on “More power options ”
 Second method: open the start menu and
search for “power options”
 Click on “Power options” that appear in the
search results

4.  In the window that opens, click on
“Choose what closing the lid does”
on the left pane.
 Here you can choose what closing the lid
does. Notice that you can
change it separately for
when your laptop is on
battery or when it is
plugged in.

5. Finishing options
 You can select whether
your laptop asks you
for your password
when you open the
lid or not.
 Once you are done,
don’t forget to click
on “Save changes”
on the bottom right.
You are now all set!
