The next time you close the PC's lid (or, in the case of a Surface Pro, fold the Type Cover up over the screen), your PC will be guaranteed to keep its cool. The options available under the Power Button And Lid Settings section might look a little different depending on how your PC maker implemented this feature, but every modern laptop has the option to define settings for When I close the lid.Ĭhange the behavior under On Battery to Hibernate and then save your changes. From the list of links on the left, click Choose what closing the lid does.

During another boot I managed to install CPUZ and check the hardware dispalyed and everything looked.

I checked the temps via HWMonitor, which I managed to somehow install before it shut off, it was around 45-60 degrees overall, nothing concerning. That opens the dialog box shown in the upper right of this article. Everything I’ve tried yields the same result: the laptop turning off after a couple of minutes. To make the change, open Control Panel (or use the search box on the taskbar) and search for Power Options. But on a modern laptop with an SSD, that difference is typically only 10 seconds or so. The trade-off, of course, is that getting back to work takes a bit longer as the system loads the contents of the hibernation file instead of resuming from sleep. A hibernating system won't wake up until you tell it to, which means you can count on your bag staying cool and your battery fully charged. On a PC running Windows 10, one simple solution is to change the behavior of the system so that closing the lid causes the system to hibernate instead of sleeping, saving the system's state to a hibernation file. You put the sleeping laptop into your travel bag and then hours later, discover that it woke up at some point and has been madly using up your battery (and heating up your bag) as it tries to do whatever task it woke up for. Through the power settings and can't see anything related to this.If you own a laptop, you might have experienced "hot bag" syndrome. This works for 1 minute, then the surface pro screen comes on again and having to use both screens. When I close the lid this works and strangely it comes up with the question "Do you want to switch to tablet mode?", I click no. The following steps show how to change this, making it so the computer will stay on when the lid is closed. I have also changed the display settings to disable the Surface Pro Screen and only enable the external screen. By default Windows 10 will make a laptop computer to go sleep when the lid is closed. I have made the changes in the power options so that when the type cover is closed it stays on when connected to power:

Surface Pro Screen to turn off and an external display to stay on. What I'd like to happen is for when the Surface is connected to the docking station and the lid is then closed, is for the I have a Surface Pro 4 with a docking station with external monitor connected, both keyboards (1 to stay in the office) and mouse.
