The correct answer is C. Choose what closing the lid does. This option allows you to configure how the laptop behaves when you close the lid, such as whether it goes to sleep, hibernates, shuts down, or does nothing. To access this option, you can follow these steps :
Go to Settings > System > Power & sleep.
Click on Additional power settings on the right side.
Click on Choose what closing the lid does on the left side.
Under When I close the lid, select Do nothing for both On battery and Plugged in.
Click on Save changes.
This will prevent the laptop from going to sleep when you close the lid while it is connected to the docking station and the external monitor.
Hibernate, sleep/suspend, and turn on fast startup are not the options that should be configured to fix the issue. Hibernate and sleep/suspend are both power-saving modes that allow you to resume your work without losing any data.
However, they also turn off the display and other components of the laptop, which means you will not be able to use the external monitor when the laptop is closed. Turn on fast startup is a feature that reduces the boot time of Windows by saving some system information to a file when you shut down. It does not affect how the laptop behaves when you close the lid .
