laptop monitor shown when lid is closed

Moved back to one displaylink and one displayport monitor - i only see 2 monitors in the monitor setup now - so having an external displayport monitor tells the laptop to shutoff the laptop screen when lid is closed - not show it in the list.

Interestingly the missing icon issue is back in the menu bar - but it is the displaylink monitor that is missing the icons - only for chrome notification. The apple icon is on both.

Also, before doing this, i plugged in the displaylink dock with lid shut..... bad mistake. locked up my laptop and only a hard power off would fix it.
