I was wondering but is there a program I can use so that when I close my Lenovo Red Laptop which runs Windows 8.1 (upgraded from Windows 7) to stay active when I close it. For example when I close my laptop lid and I am playing music, it still plays?

Note: There was something like this on my Lenovo Red Laptop but when I upgraded to 8.1 pro, it wiped all my applications including the built in ones from Lenovo such as Power Manager (not that I needed it though), also I cannot take it in at the moment since the person in charge of situations like this is away currently.

Any suggestions for a program that can fit my needs? Thanks. :)

This is builtin in Windows 8 (and most likely windows 7 as well).

Open the Control Panel, search for "energy" and choose "edit the action on closing the lid". Here you have the option to change the action to "do nothing".

    in case the exact wording is different, I had to translate it. Feel free to edit if it is named a little different :)

  • In Windows 7 it's called "Change what closing the lid does"
