Close lid issue

ucorda · 09-11-2013, 05:04 PM

I set the Windows power option for closing the lid to "do nothing", so my laptop does not go to sleep when I close the lid and use the external monitor and keyboard connected via DisplayLink.

The problem I am having is that in that configuration the laptop *never* goes to sleep, even after the period of inactivity specified in the Windows power plan.

If I want to use my laptop like a desktop with lid closed, evidently I also want it to go to sleep when it is not used for a while, but instead it remains active all the time. To allow it to go to sleep after a period of inactivity, I have to open the lid and leave it open until it goes to sleep.

Is this part of Windows built-in behavior, or is it something that could be adjusted?

(I am using a Taichi21 running Windows 8 - I had to uninstall ASUS Close Lid in order to prevent the laptop from going to sleep when closing the lid).

Hi,

Not sure if that can be tweaked - anyone else have any ideas?

Thanks,
James

this is what I received from ASUS
Read and weep

"I just got a reply , and for the TAICHI21, it does not support any dock station, it means there is a compatibility issue between the TAICHi21 and the HZ-1 dock, so it is not only a driver issue. You had better not connect the dock to the TAICHI21 for usage. And our engineer won't develop any new driver for this issue. Sorry if any inconvenience this case.
