I've a 27" external monitor connected to my laptop and I use my laptop's screen as secondary. I've both screens turned on while I'm working. When I'm watching movies, Je viens de keep my external monitor on and turn off the lid of the laptop.
I've created a power plan in Options d'alimentation called Laptop Screen off which basically does nothing when the lid is off, then I use my external monitor as my only screen.
When I'm working, I activate another power plan which supports high performance for programming and running virtual machines. This power plan puts the laptop to sleep when the lid is closed.
Anyways, I keep switching between these plans depending on what I'm doing. This was all easy in Windows 7/8.1 as Je viens de clicked the battery icon and switched it.
J'ai mis à jour to Windows 10 last week and now I've to dig deeper to get there. There should be an easier way? Existe-t-il un small tool I can use to do what I'm doing in less no. of steps?
