Hi@SamJM,

Welcome to the HP Support Community! I'd like to help!

I see you are looking to close the cover on the HP ENVY X360 Laptop without logging out/shutting down.

I have a few recommendations 

• On the left-hand side of the Power Options screen, you'll see an option that says Choose what closing the lid does. Click it. From there, select the behavior you'd like your PC to use when closing the lid. In the drop down menu, select the action you'd prefer: Do Nothing, Sleep, Hibernate, and Shut down.
• In your control panel, (under power management), if you have set the computer to DO NOTHING upon closing the lid, then its safe to close your computer lid at ANY TIME during the shut down process.

How to Keep a Windows 10 Laptop On When It's Closed

1. Right-click the Battery icon in the Windows System Tray.
2. Then select Power Options.
3. Next, click Choose what closing the lid does.
4. Then, choose Do Nothing next to When I close the lid.
5. Finally, click Save changes.

Hope this helps! Keep me posted.
