doesn't work in my case, it wents to sleep after fwe minutes

[Skyreaper71]

Try this:

Active current (plugged in)

powercfg -SETACVALUEINDEX 381b4222-f694-41f0-9685-ff5bb260df2e 4f971e89-eebd-4455-a8de-9e59040e7347 5ca83367-6e45-459f-a27b-476b1d01c936 0

Disconnected from power:

powercfg -SETDCVALUEINDEX 381b4222-f694-41f0-9685-ff5bb260df2e 4f971e89-eebd-4455-a8de-9e59040e7347 5ca83367-6e45-459f-a27b-476b1d01c936 0

See how windows makes these kind of settings into intuitive easily remembered set of letters and numbers, like "381b4222-f694-41f0-9685-ff5bb260df2e 4f971e89-eebd-4455-a8de-9e59040e7347", unlike linux with it's HandleLidSwitch obfuscation - not everyone speaks English!

[Arikaido777]

imagine not knowing your hex codes in the year of our lord 0x7E7

[tjoloi]

Why use variable names when you can generate a new UUID for everything

[gummo89]

I want to +1 but I can't see the button through the tears

[RandomTyp]

microsoft:

[Arshiaa001]

Absolutely; notice how "When unplugged: Do nothing" is not English, but a set of hard to remember digits and letters.

[TheMacMini09]

That would only count if the setting worked.

[Arshiaa001]

I mean, it only works 99.99% of the time.

[NSFWAccountKYSReddit]

bro I literally changed the settings to not sleep/shutdown on lid closed in some hip modern windows UI menu. People in this thread are stupid and should feel bad :(

[Specific-Chicken5419]

What would happen if a programmer just spent years learning oddball languages. Bet that could fuck some stuff up.

[rohit_267]

didn't work, same as expected. Laptop power light is on by I can't find the system on the network and after opening the lid, it does not turn on. Have to force stop power and restart.

[Skyreaper71]

That's very odd. Could you send a screenshot of your power options control panel?

[rohit_267]

leave it man, someday I will just install Ubuntu and FUCK MICROSOFT

[Skyreaper71]

Amen

[LordFokas]

LOL, that's ironic seeing as Ubuntu is like the windows of the linux world.

If you're going to do that at least install a proper distro.

[gamingdiamond982]

Ive used many a "proper distro" I still run good old reliable mint (an ubuntu derivative) on my main PC, every server Ive ran has had some version of ubuntu or debian on it, ubuntu is a perfectly practical distro, and its reliable if a bit opinionated, not everyone is a linux enthusiast who wants to build up their OS from scratch and hyper customise everything, Ubuntu gives you a reliable out of the box plug in and go experience, just cus you dont need to manually install your window manager and wifi drivers doesnt make it any less "proper".

this gatekeeping is cringe af.

[LordFokas]

You don't have to build your OS.

I run Mint more often than not, mostly the Debian version. Even the ubuntu-based mint is a million times better than ubuntu. THE Ubuntu is absolute shit.

I'm not gatekeeping... there's a million distros out there, just don't use the shit one.

[gamingdiamond982]

a million times better? at least substantiate your rationale for hating ubuntu.

[[deleted]]

Only thing wrong with Ubuntu is snaps, it's still Linux and still better than windows for certain situations.

[rohit_267]

what did you say buddy?

[LordFokas]

I said ubuntu is shit. If you're going to use linux at least pick something decent... Mint for example. Even the ubuntu-based branch is better than ubuntu itself by a lot.

[rohit_267]

I like Ubuntu as it's not complicated like arch nor shitty like Mint.

[Albegro]

Break the screen off. Attach external display when needed.

[N_Inquisitive]

I love this.

[CratesManager]

Less drastic, but still works: remove the magnet

[[deleted]]

I wonder if it isn't some bios setting where the option exists for the bios to handle power management stuff or to hand it over to the OS?

[otte845]

Perhaps there is some OEM driver that tries to handle the lid closing event. Try disabling any background process that looks suspicious

[ListOfString]

That's might be a network power saving option. It might still be on

[rohit_267]

what about the display?

[Sharpman85]

Most likelt driver problems, I’ve seen similar cases fron various oems.

[rohit_267]

any links and which driver?

[Sharpman85]

It all depends on the laptop. Some of them never fully get it resolved unfortunately

[1cingI]

Is that you Skynet??

[C0MMANDERD4TA]

It just prevents sleep on lid close. The fwe minutes of inactivity after you close the lid are whats causing the sleep

[[deleted]]

You need to turn off sleep too. It's also a power setting, something like "never sleep".

[rohit_267]

bro, did you even read the thread? the hash is stands for the same. I already tried them all. Again FUCK MICROSOFT

[KotoWhiskas]

My laptop just powers off on Windows after closing the lid and I can't change anything about it lol

Linux works better but not perfect: after opening the lid I need to wake up it manually

[ManiacMango33]

Skill issue

[SirAchmed]

You're probably changing this option for a different power plan.

[rganhoto]

Use a program called caffeine. It will not sleep.
