Is it because the laptop tries to sleep/hibernate/shut down when the lid is closed?
If so (and Windows) then look at the "Power Options" section of the control panel.
I have "When I close the lid" set to "Do nothing" for both "On battery" and "Plugged in".
(I have my Windows 10 Lenovo laptop attached to two monitors and the lid is closed all the time.)

I have a hp laptop and a separate monitor. I have to have the laptop open to have the screen on the monitor. Is there anyway to close the laptop and still be able to view on the monitor
