Wondering how to turn off the computer screen and keep it running on Windows 10/11? It's a lot easier than you might think. This guide provides you with simple step-by-step instructions.
Many users may not know that Windows can function in diverse setups, turning laptops into efficient desktop workstations. By connecting an external keyboard, mouse, and monitor, your laptop can seamlessly adapt. However, how can you keep your device running with the lid closed?
By default, Windows enters sleep mode when you close the lid, meaning that you'll need to keep the laptop open to keep it functioning properly.
Once you've made these adjustments, closing your laptop's lid will no longer interrupt its operation. You can easily control it using external peripherals like a mouse and keyboard, while your laptop remains neatly closed and out of the way.
Now you know how to effectively turn off the laptop screen while keeping it running. As you've seen, the process is straightforward and beneficial for a variety of usage scenarios!
