    How to prevent turning off display on lid close when in tablet mode?


    I have 2in1 laptop 360° (UMAX VisionBook 14Wg Flex) which can turn into tablet style, but when I do so, display swithes off.
    Windows 10 Pro

    I can set "do nothing" for lid close, but it still switches display off.
    (it is not hardware switch, as when I tried it in bios it remains turned on)

    I have two questions.
    Is ii possible to
    1) disable switching off display on lid close
    2) have different setting for laptop mode and for tablet mode

    Thank You

    Go to Settings -> Lock Screen -> Lock tablet instantly with power button ...turn that off. The closing of the cover is the same as pressing the power button so I believe this will at least stop the tablet from locking when the cover is closed.

    Thank You for answer.

    I cannot find that settings. I found "Lock Screen", but there is no "Lock tablet instantly with power button", just settings for background images and included apps.

    I am not sure it would help anyway, because machines doesnt lock screen, just switches display off, but I can try, if I would find where to set it.
