    Issue with Win7 Power Options: A bug of Win7?


    I encountering the following problem when close lid on my laptop. Is this a common problem for Win7? Anyone meet the same problem?

    Here are my steps:
    1.Change power plan settings as below (balanced).
    1.
    Turn off the display after 1 mins.
    2. Set Close lid as Do nothing.

    2. Close laptop;
    3.Wait for 2 minutes.
    4.Move mouse;
    5. Open laptop;
    6.System shows black screen, system still alive!!!!!
    Here is the key points of my observation: If don’t move mouse before opening laptop, no issue observed.

    Welcome!

    Actually, that is not a bug. Regardless of your power settings, most (if not all) laptops will turn off the screen when the lid is shut.

    Now what happens if you don't move the mouse?

    If I don't move mouse before opening lid, when I open the lid, the screen will show normally.

    While the problem is that if I follow these steps as I mentioned (which is move mouse before opening lid), after open lid, the screen will show nothing, system is still running. No matter I close/open lid again and again or move mouse, the screen is black. What I can do is reboot.

    Does it also happen on your laptop?

    Thanks!

    Not a bug of Windows but of the hardware and drivers.
