What can I do to make my music keep playing even when my laptop's lid is down?
I want to listen to my music with my laptop when I'm going to school, and this is the only way.
I tried watching a tutorial, but it was too old and wasn't compatible.
I'm currently on Windows 11.
Please help.

Hi Anonymous_132,
I'm Rodrigo and I'll help you.
Open the Start Menu type Power and select "Edit Power Plan".
On the left side, select "Choose what closing the lid does" and set it to "Do nothing". You can set the time before the laptop sleep, or set it to "Never".
Keep in mind that is not good to keep the laptop computer in a backpack/bag while it is on, it can overheat the device, it needs to dissipate the heat.
