Choose What Happens When You Close Lid In Windows 10

While scouring through the Control Panel, I came across some of the different things we can make our PC do when we close lid. So, I thought to myself why not share this with our users.

In the wide array of features Windows 10 offers us, a lot of them simply sometimes do not make sense. For example, Why would you want to disable shadows behind active windows or even disable Start Menu’s color while retaining the color of the Taskbar? You might not know the logic behind it but Microsoft intends to please all of it’s people.

The world has 7 billion people. This means 7 billion different ways of looking at a particular thing. I do not know exactly how many people use Windows but I’m sure they must be in hundreds of millions. Microsoft obviously wants to honor each and everyone’s unique taste of the way they use their computer. Hence, something that might seem absurd to us might be appealing to someone else. We at Windows Clan, are in full agreement with this.

To honor our readers, we feel it is our duty to cover even the most tiniest of Windows’ aspects. In pursuit of that, today is the turn of choosing what happens when you close lid of your laptop. Closing your laptop’s lid is something that happens all day long.
