Issue: I have an external monitor and plan on using it, it would be powered by my laptop which is connected via VGA. I have changed settings to 'Do Nothing' when the laptop lid is being closed and the screen turning off & sleep is all changed to 'Never'. However, despite me changing my settings and even creating a new power plan, my laptop goes to Sleep after about 15 minutes of the lid being closed. I am not idle when this happens, I am surfing the net, typing and moving my mouse. Everything is fine when the laptop lid is being kept open but I really want to close it due to space constraint. I have also set my monitor as 'Main Display' and I only use the monitor so its a single screen display.
