It should work and to find the control panel on Windows 11, search for “control panel” in Settings or press the Windows key + R to find it. Select Hardware and Sound, then go to Power Options. On the left-hand side of the screen, you'll see a number of options. Click Choose what closing the lid does. If you need further help with this please feel free to contact Acer support at 866-695-2237. They are available 24/7 for in-warranty products.
