So, I just got the Galaxy Book5 Pro, and everything is working out great EXCEPT a weird quirk:

The laptop is connected to an external monitor via the HDMI and with USB-C power attached to one of the Thunderbolt ports.

Now, my bluetooth keyboard & mouse ONLY wake the laptop from sleep to show the desktop on the external monitor IF I first connect the monitor while the lid is open. Once I shut the lid, signal to the HDMI is cut until I wake the screen with my K&M.

HOWEVER, if the laptop lid is closed (like if it is just pulled from a backpack), and I connect the HDMI and power, the K&M will not wake the monitor screen. I have to first open the laptop lid, shut it, then wake the monitor.

I've never even seen this kind of quirk before. Thoughts? Ideally, I just plug in the laptop, hit some keys on the keyboard, and the monitor wakes back up. 🤷‍:male_sign:

HAAAALP!

Yes, I know that option is there, but I actually want the laptop to go to sleep when the lid is closed.

I need it to act like my Macbook, where the lid closed puts the laptop to sleep, but it wakes with the keyboard when attached to the external monitor.
