How to run FW16 in clamshell mode?

Framework Laptop 16

Silly Question - how do I enable Clamshell mode on my FW16?
running Windows 11, with latest drivers and BIOS, and have a 4k moniitor plugged in via DP adaptor

I can’t get it to use the external screen only, and every time I close the lid, the machine goes to sleep !, even though it is plugged into the PSU

In control panel’s power settings, you just need to tell the laptop to “do nothing” when the lid is closed instead of causing it to go to sleep. You can also configure this behaviour to change depending of the laptop is plugged in or on battery.
