Question

Prevent Windows 10 from starting on laptop when opening screen cover

Answer 1

Disable the laptop from turning on when opening the cover of the Windows 10 screen

---

In a large number of next-generation laptops or hybrids we can find the automatic ignition function when we open the device cover. This function can be very useful to avoid using the power button to manage it and return to our session quickly..

But this feature is not equally useful for everyone and can be comfortable if we open it unintentionally. Therefore we will see how to disable the PC to start when opening the lid.

Disable the laptop from turning on when opening the cover of the Windows 10 screen

Step 1

We right click on the battery icon and click on "Power Options".

Step 2

In this window we choose the option “Choose the closing behavior of the lid”.

Step 3

Now we will only have to change the closing behavior of the lid in both “With battery” and “Alternating current” to “Do nothing”. Click on save changes.

Note

Some laptops allow you to modify the automatic startup behavior from the BIOS itself.

After doing the process you just have to turn off your computer with the lid closed and when opening it verify that it does not start automatically. The negative point is that you will not be able to use the laptop's cover for functions such as hibernate or suspend..
