I have a Dell 3542 laptop running thru a Dell USB 3.0 Dock (Win 8.1). I have set the Win power settings to "Do Nothing" with the laptop lid closed so that it does not sleep when plugged into the dock.
However when the system does sleep, if I leave my desk for an extended period, I have to power up the laptop and reset to "Notebook Monitor Off" every time, using the laptop screen, before I can revert to the monitor.
How can I set to "Notebook Monitor Off" when attached to the dock as the default?
