  1. Why can't I see "Power buttons and lid" option to change open lid options?


    I am trying to change the action for "Open Lid" for my laptop which has Windows 11 installed in it but I am unable to find any option for it as can be seen in the attached screenshots. It is neither possible through "Change plan settings" in "hardware and sounds -> Power options" or via regedit option.Please help.

    :)

    Laptop Lid open automatic turn on ( without pressing power button)

    Hi masudkarim48,

    I am Dave, I will help you with this.

    1

    Are you putting your laptop to sleep or turning off your laptop before you open the lid?

    2

    Open the old Control panel, not the settings app.

    At the top of the old Control Panel, set View to icons.

    Open Power Options, and click 'Change Plan Settings' on the current plan

    Click 'Change Advanced Power settings'.

    Is there a 'Power buttons and Lid' section in the resulting list?

    if there is, expand that, click on “Lid open action” and change that to 'Do Noting'.

    Power options and action for a lid,sleep,turn off

    @stashek, you shouldn't need to look in the registry, you should be able to find all that in the Control Panel.

    Look at Control Panel > Power options and click 'Choose what the power button does' or 'Choose what closing the lid does' from the list near the top at the left.

    No "Turn off display" option for what the power buttons and lid do.

    Hello I am an independent advisor for the Microsoft community. I also do not have the "Turn Off Display" option when selecting an action for when I press the Power button. I suggest you close your laptop after selecting "Do Nothing" from the options for
    closing the lid.
