How to turn off the computer screen and still keep the computer running
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.
Understanding the Default Behavior
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.
Steps to Keep Your Laptop Running with the Lid Closed
- Access Power Options:
- Locate the Battery icon in the System Tray (bottom right corner). If it's hidden, click the small arrow.
- Right-click on the Battery icon and select Power Options.
- Alternatively, you can access it through Settings > System > Power & sleep > Additional power settings on Windows 10. Adjust the window size if necessary.
- You can also open the Control Panel from the Start menu, set View by to Small icons, and select Power Options.
- In the Power Options menu, select Choose what closing the lid does on the left side.
- Modify the setting for When I close the lid:
- For Plugged in, change the drop-down box to Do nothing.
- If desired, you may also change this setting for On battery, but be aware of potential issues.
- Click Save Changes to finalize your settings.
What to Expect After Adjusting Settings
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.
Important Notes
- When the laptop is asleep or turned off, use the Start menu commands for exiting these states after making your adjustments.
- Utilize the power button if necessary for turning off the device.
- This method may accelerate battery drain, so remember to power down your device before placing it in a bag or backpack to prevent overheating.
Conclusion
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!
