After closing the lid, the all applications are closed when the lid reopens

[JamesA64]

When I close the laptop lid it is very inconsistent in behaviour. Usually it will go into what appears to be sleep mode, with a very quick wake up time. However all of the previously open apps will be closed.

Other times it will take ages to log back in or will have fully turned off instead.

Very occasionally  it will perform as it is supposed to and once I log back in all of the apps will be as left.

I have changed the power managment and lid close settings in windows but nothing appears to fix the issue.

I reviewed your post and I understand that when you close the lid and reopen all the applications are closed.

Don’t worry, I assure you I will try my best to get this sorted.

I recommend you update the BIOS and the graphics driver from the below link and check if it helps.
