How can I operate my Envy 17t with the lid closed and external keyboard and monitor plugged in?
When I lift the lid and power up the laptop boots as expected and my external monitor and keyboard work fine. Howeve if I close the lid to just use the external monitor and keyboard the 17t shuts down. How can I keep it on/awake with the lid closed? Is it an HP Envy setting or a Windows setting?
I do this every day at work with my HP Elite book.

Most likely, it's a Windows Power setting.
Open Settings --> System --> Power & Sleep
Select Additional power settings
Look through those to see what happens when you close the lid and change those.
