If you open up the Control Panel > Hardware and Sound > Choose what closing the lid does, you can set that to "Do Nothing", and the notebook should stay running as the primary monitor when the lid is closed.

Hope that helps! ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/notebook-external-monitor-should-stay-as-secondary/?ID=b391709a-6f92-4336-8981-919c85e7f7a8 Mon, 07 Jun 2021 05:28:38 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/notebook-external-monitor-should-stay-as-secondary/?ID=b391709a-6f92-4336-8981-919c85e7f7a8 DisplayFusion Hello,
Couldn't find it, but is there a way to have the external monitor stay as the secondary output screen when notebook lid is closed?
It should switch the external to main screen.
Just need to have to monitor live energy diagrams and data.
Thanks for help!
Regards,
Hermann ]]>
