Enable device lock when screen lid is shut

Question

Hi all,

 

I use a mixture of dell and HP devices with intune with HP devices they lock when the lid is shut, this setting I have not made myself and seems automatic. 

 

I have followed some guides to try doing it via intune or powershell no luck. Like: https://niklastinner.medium.com/sleep-lock-device-on-lid-close-intune-configuration-profile-power-ma...

 

Any ideas?

1.Check whether the device edition is support and scope is device.

2.Check whether the targeted device applied the policy. Registry Location: Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Power\PowerSettings

3.Check if there are related errors in Event Viewer. Location: Event Viewer > Applications and Services Logs > Microsoft > Windows > DeviceManagement-Enterprise-Diagnostic-Provider > Admin
