If my laptop is plugged in I want closing the lid to automatically lock the computer, without putting it to sleep. I don't see an option to do this in Power Options:

Is there a hack to achieve this?

          There is no built-in function to archive this. But you can do this using a third party tool.



          One of them is LapLock. This program is open source and it's developed by Etienne Dechamps.



          Steps...



          1. Download the program - https://github.com/dechamps/laplock/releases
            (Download the latest laplock.exe release)


          2. Open the Windows Startup folder by using this run command - 'shell:common startup'


          3. Add laplock.exe to your Startup folder.


          4. Go to the Power Options settings page and change the lid close action to 'Do Nothing'.


          You can also use Lid Lock to do this.
