Why each option
The action taken when a laptop lid is closed - such as sleep, hibernate, shut down, or do nothing - is a power management setting configured directly in Power Options.
Display settings control screen resolution, orientation, and color depth, not lid-close power behavior.
Power Options in Control Panel includes a 'Choose what closing the lid does' setting (or 'When I close the lid' in Power Plan advanced settings), which maps the lid-close event to specific power states independently for battery and plugged-in scenarios. This is the single most direct location for this configuration.
Personalization controls visual themes, wallpaper, and screen savers, not hardware event actions.
Device Management (Device Manager) is used to manage hardware drivers and devices, not to configure lid-close behavior.
