    Don't understand why this request is so difficult to understand and the answers so miss the point..  When we close the lid, we want to ONLY LOCK it.  We do NOT want it to sleep, hibernate, or do anything else.  Just LOCK.  Period.

    This obviously should be a built it option, but for some strange reason or oversight it is not.  The function is needed so that one can leave the pc while it is executing a program and have it continue uninterrupted, but AUTOMATICALLY lock the pc when the lid is closed.

    Hi,

    Before closing the lid, press Windows key + L to lock the screen. This is the other simple alternative.

    Thank you.
