Windows 10: Laptop Shuts Down Instead of Sleeping after few minutes when I Close the Lid.

Hi,I recently bought an Alienware M15 R7 Laptop. It is running Windows 11 Home. The issue I am facing is that, when I close the lid the laptop goes to sleep and when I open it it wakes up from sleep but when the laptop is left idle for few minutes after closing the lid, it force shuts down automatically even though my apps are running it closes and when I open the lid after few minutes, it boots up from the beginning.The closing lid settings is mentioned that when I close the lid the laptop must go to sleep. Tried disabling fast startup option. I have tried almost all the troubleshooting steps

:)

 

Laptop does not shutdown when i click shutdown and close the lid, it sleeps instead.

Hi Gan,

This scenario happens when your Power Options is misconfigured. For us to have this isolated, we suggest that you follow these steps:

• Click on Start.
• Select Settings.
• Click on System.
• Select Power & sleep tab.
• On the right side, click on Additional power settings.
• On the left pane, select Choose what closing the lid does.
• Under Power button and lid settings, click the drop down next to
  When I close the lid.
• Select Shut down.
• Click on Save changes button.
• When you’re ready to make your PC shut down, close your laptop's lid.
  

Note: Every time that you will close the lid, your laptop will automatically shut down.

Let us know if you have other concerns.

 

When close lid during shutting down, PC go into sleep.

Hello,
I've got a problem (or a feature ? Not so sure) that when I finish my work, I shutting down my laptop, while waiting it to be shut down, I close the lid.
The problem is when I close the lid, the laptop go into sleep mode, and when I back to work, I open the lid to press the power button and it resume the 'shut down' process.
This hasn't happen before, any suggestion ? Many thanks

OS: Windows 10 Pro (build 14393.693) 64bits

 

Laptop Shuts Down (instead of Sleeping) When I Close the Lid

The issue is that whenever I close the lid of my laptop, or quickly press the power button, the laptop shuts down instead of going to sleep (even though I have clearly specified in my power plan that closing the lid should make it Sleep, not Shut
Down). When I open my laptop again (or press the keyboard, in the case of "sleeping" with the power button), the computer turns back on and I'm welcomed by the bootup loading screen. I've scoured what forums I could find for a solution, but with no success.

It drives me crazy, because whereas in the past I could work on a project, close the laptop to take a break, and return to the project five minutes later (where opening the lid would instantly awaken the laptop to the lockscreen, and putting my PIN in would
instantly open the project I was working on with no waiting time), now I have to wait for the entire 3-5 minute bootup time only to be greeted with a blank desktop with none of my previously ongoing applications or projects opened; and it takes longer to start
any of the applications at first since the computer is still groggy from just waking up from the shutdown. Now I have to keep the laptop open if I'm working on a project, which wastes energy and leads way to inconvenient situations where I may leave the room
with the laptop open with a project on it and someone walks in and closes it for me, thinking they are putting it to sleep and thus conserving energy.

Here are the specs for my laptop computer. I virtually always keep it plugged in, by the way.

Windows edition: Windows 10 Home
Manufacturer: ASUSTek Computer Inc.
Model: G751JL
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4720HQ CPU @ 2.60GHz 2.59 GHz
Installed memory (RAM): 8.00 GB
System tupe: 64-but Operating System, x64-based processor

Pen and Touch: Touch Support with 10 Touch Points

Here is what I've done so far to resolve the issue, but to no avail:

• I uninstalled all the software I had downloaded shortly before the problem began occurring (mainly DAW software, along with some C++ packages that came along with it).
• I went into Power Settings and made sure the "Choose what closing the lid does" setting was "Sleep" for both plugged in and on battery.
• I tried changing the "Choose what closing the lid does" setting to "Do nothing" for both plugged in and on battery.
• I scanned the system for errors via "Command Prompt (Admin)." It reported "No integrity violation."
• I performed a Full Scan for viruses via Windows Defender. There were none.
• I went into the BIOS settings and disabled Energy Saving Mode.
• I updated all of my drivers.
• I ran the Hardware and Device Troubleshooter. It found some problems and resolved them as I restarted the computer, but the shutoff issue was not resolved.
• I restored the default power settings with the "powercfg /restoredefaultschemes" command.
• I ran the Power Troubleshooter. It reported no issues.
• I switched my power plan from the default "Balanced" to "High Performance."
