Product: Omen X
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I have an Omen laptop with two external monitors. I need to open the laptop to power on,but after that I would like the BIOS and OS to boot to the external monitor(s). This doesn't work now as I have to keep the laptop open and log in, then it goes to the external monitors and I can close the laptop.. In the BIOS I have disabled Secure Boot and enabled CSM as I had read that to be a solution. It worked once but now will not work anymore. Any ideas? Thank you.

Sorry, but you can't use an external monitor to replace the screen on laptops because the drivers to use those monitors don't get loaded until Windows starts.  So none of the initial POST and boot messages are going to be sent to those monitors.
