Make lid sensor non-functional, keep screen on
November 30, 2023

This lets you disable "ACPI Lid" so that windows is not notified if the screen closes. This can fix the screen turning off for a faulty sensor, or external monitor glitching resolution.

1. open device manager
2. in "System devices" find "ACPI lid"
3. Open "ACPI lid" properties, and go to "Driver" tab.
4. Select "Update driver"
5. Choose "Browse my computer for driver software" and "Let me pick..", then uncheck "Show compatible hardware"
6. And now...in "Manufacturer" select "Microsoft" and model: "Volume manager"
7. Restart.
