CompTIA A+ Core 2 (220-1102) — Question 665

A user connects a laptop that is running Windows 10 to a docking station with external monitors when working at a desk. The user would like to close the laptop when it is docked, but the user reports it goes to sleep when it is closed. Which of the following is the BEST solution to prevent the laptop from going to sleep when it is closed and on the docking station?

Answer options

• A. Within the Power Options of the Control Panel utility, click the Change Plan Settings button for the enabled power plan and select Put the Computer to Sleep under the Plugged In category to Never.
• B. Within the Power Options of the Control Panel utility, click the Change Plan Settings button for the enabled power plan and select Put the Computer to Sleep under the On Battery category to Never.
• C. Within the Power Options of the Control Panel utility, select the option Choose When to Turn Off the Display and select Turn Off the Display under the Plugged In category to Never.
• D. Within the Power Options of the Control Panel utility, select the option Choose What Closing the Lid Does and select When I Close the Lid under the Plugged In category to Do Nothing.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because it specifically addresses the action taken when the lid is closed, allowing the laptop to remain operational while docked. Options A and B deal with sleep settings rather than lid actions, and option C refers to display settings, which do not prevent the laptop from sleeping when the lid is closed.
