On an Acer laptop, we managed to enter BIOS by pressing F2 when the computer is booting up.
So, you need to enter BIOS and enable this setting for the above steps to work. A possibility is that this feature has been disabled in BIOS settings of your laptop. Rather you can follow the steps mentioned in this section. If the above steps did not work out for you, no need to revert them. If it did not work out for you, you might want to follow the next procedure mentioned below. To test these settings, put your laptop to sleep and try to wake it up from the mouse or any other desired device. Make sure you repeat the same steps for the keyboard as well or any other USB device for which you want to achieve this setup. Go to Power Management tab and tick the checkbox that says Allow this device to wake the computer. To do so, open Device Manager and under Mice and other pointing device locate your external wired/wireless mouse. The most basic setting that you need to configure is to allow your device to wake up your computer. Before we proceed, we assume that you want to wake up your laptop using an external USB device like wired/wireless keyboard, mouse and etc. So, make sure you follow all of these to achieve your goal. There are a few solutions that we tried and finally covered in this post. So, when the computer will go to sleep after a few minutes, it was practically impossible to wake it up using an external keyboard/mouse and without opening the lid. And we hooked a wireless keyboard and mouse and the laptop was tucked away nicely in a vertical stand (with the lid closed).
The setup that we were trying to achieve was a Windows 10 laptop connected to a monitor via HDMI. Wake up Windows laptop from sleep with lid closed If you are facing the same issue and are looking for a solution, check out the post below. While recently trying to achieve this for a friend, we were not able to wake up the laptop from sleep while the lid was closed.
But if you are rather looking for an arrangement where you want to use your portable laptop as a desktop connected to a monitor, you are going to face a few issues. Laptops are great devices they have essentially transformed the way we use Windows.
