Shutting down laptop with the lid closed, laptop folded/closed

Wouldn't it be nice if you give a shutdown command to your laptop and be able to close the laptop screen & pack-it up right away? Most laptops come with a built-in feature of having the laptop get into the sleep mode while you fold the laptop screen. Therefore, when you hit the shutdown option and fold the laptop screen, the sleep mode feature gets kicked-in interruping the shutting down. But don't worry, this setting can be tweaked.


1. Start > Settings > Control Panel
2. Performance and Maintenance > Power Options
3. Advanced > "When I close the lid of my portable computer", select 'Do Nothing'

That's it.

Now, when you give a shut down request, you can confidently close the lid/fold your laptop and set it aside into your laptop bag while it silently shuts down.

Enjoy!
