Hi everyone,
This problem has been frustrating me for a while, as I keep losing work over and over again because of this problem
So the issue is that every time after I close the lid and open it back again, the 'Slide to Shutdown' screen appears, and whether I slide up, down, sideways, or do nothing, the laptop ends up shutting down anyway. This happens both when I open the lid while the laptop is in sleep mode and when I open it while the laptop is awake (see pictures below). It also happens occasionally while I'm working on the laptop and the lid moves a bit.
I have tried a number of workarounds to no avail:
1. Disable 'Slide to shutdown': There are a bunch of 'solutions' on the web that instruct you to run control panel->troubleshooting->improve power usage, and it supposedly should do the trick. This does not work.
2. Find an option to disable the 'Slide to shutdown' script: This either doesn't exist or I have not come across that.
3. Disable the lid switch in BIOS: I disabled the lid switch and yet this problem still persists.
4. Set 'close lid', 'power/sleep button' actions to 'do nothing': The problem still persists after I do this.
5. Disabled touchscreen: This does not help either.
6. Every possible combination of the above: Still nothing.
I hope some of you can provide some useful pointers to hopefully sort this issue
Photos to describe what happens:
1. Laptop working all well
2. I close the lid
3. I open it back again
4. Everything seems okay...
5. Then 'slide to shutdown' appears. Whether I slide up, down, sideways (tried with touchscreen and mouse), or do nothing at all, it still shuts down.
6. A dead laptop
