Explanation

In Windows Power Settings, the 'When I close the lid' option can be set to 'Do nothing.' This enables clamshell mode, allowing the laptop to continue running with the lid closed while connected to an external monitor, keyboard, and mouse. Selecting Sleep (B), Hibernate (C), or Shut down (D) would all interrupt the user's session when the lid is closed, defeating the purpose of using an external desktop setup.
