If I open the laptop and press the keyboard and close it again it wakes right away on the external display, still detecting it as the only display. When asleep it no longer wakes at my USB keyboard. OK, fine, so far, so good, I suppose, though I imagine some Display resolution settings might need some attention if I do need to use the laptop screen, but no problem. So in my Display page it only detects a single Display, which is the HDMI connected monitor. Then I closed my laptop-it is already set for nothing to happen when the lid closes-and interestingly, though I guess it makes sense, Windows no longer recognized the laptop's screen as a display option. Windows recognized it right away and immediately wanted to clone the display, that's the default. I just today got a larger monitor to use as my primary display, since this laptop doesn't travel very often. Generally, when I put it to sleep, it will wake with just pressing a button on my USB keyboard, I do not need to use the actual laptop keyboard to wake from Sleep. I have a laptop running Win 10 Home 圆4, all the latest updates.

I am hoping there is a simple solution to this that I am missing.
