Hi HP Community. I am using my Envy X360 Convertible as both a laptop/tablet, but also as a desktop with an external monitor. I have set the power and display options to just use the monitor when the laptop is closed. My issue is that I am unable to boot the laptop with the lid closed - the power button is disabled unless I lift the lid, which defeats the object.
Any ideas how I can get round this? I saw that the BIOS could be changed by allowing boot up on AC power, but this option just not exist in the BIOS.
Thank you!
