Is there a BIOS or windows setting, which enable the laptop to start-up when power is applied
via the USB-C connection. At moment I have to open the laptop, hit the power switch, would like to leave
laptop closed and it to start up when applying power

Thanks Gaya 1239, for the eleborate answer.
Unfortunately the BIOS doesn't have a POWER MANAGEMENT SETTINGS page.
BIOS Setup utility only shows: screenprints attached
Looked at every individual item, none showed a POWER setting.
Looking forward to further suggestions
Thanks
Any further advice
