Can I disable lid open detection?

Framework Laptop 13
1

I set Framework Laptop 13 AMD into sleep mode under MS-Windows then put in backpack.
When I go home it’s sometime resume work and feel hot.
I guess maybe FW13AMD detect lid open and resume, may add a "lid open detect " option in BIOS ?

Firmware Feature Request: Disable keypress while the lid is closed

Disable modern standby and use suspend to RAM instead

Do you need a BIOS option for that? If I search for “Windows disable wake on lid open” I get hits. Certainly under linux this is something that one configures in the operating system.

This is likely the fault of Windows “Modern Standby”, not the lid sensor believing that your laptop has been opened. Using Modern Standby Windows can start your computer up all on its own. The purpose is supposed to be to preform system updates and apply patches when you aren’t using your computer. But 1) it’s a problem if your laptop is in a bag without airflow for the fans, 2) it seems like Windows may sometime fail to shutdown afterwards.

Finding a laptop turned on in your bag or hot from previously turning itself on is a common complaint with Windows and their “Modern Standby”.

I don’t think so.
I had the same experience on Debian (MX Linux) with the Framework 13 AMD.
Pressed suspend, closed the lid, put it into a bag and after 20 mins it was using 100% fan speed to cool itself down inside of a bag.
No external devices were attached, no cron job or anything like that.

There have been cases of laptops waking up in bags.
This was caused by either the keyboard or touchpad activating while in the bag.
On my laptop, i disable wakup triggers from keyboard, touchpad and lid open.
My laptop is woken by me pressing the power button.
