Hello prarnith chann,

Could you clarify which option is missing?

Choose what closing the lid does
Lid open wake action
Powering on the PC automatically when the lid opens

These use different settings. The command you tried does not match Microsoft’s documented GUID for Lid open wake action, but I do not want to suggest another command until the exact missing option is confirmed.

Please share a screenshot showing where the option should appear, along with your exact Surface model and Windows version.

Hello prarnith chann,

Just check in to see how things are going. Let me know if you need anything.

Answer 2

The command uses the wrong GUID for the lid-open setting.

For Lid open wake action, the correct identifiers are:

Subgroup alias: SUB_BUTTONS
Setting alias: LIDOPENWAKE
GUID: 99ff10e7-23b1-4c07-a9d1-5c3206d741b4

That setting is marked as hidden, so using the wrong GUID will not unhide it.

Use the correct setting identifier instead of:

powercfg -attributes SUB_BUTTONS 99ff10e9-0bdb-43f2-9a98-17f7b86b7a00 -ATTRIB_HIDE

The documented hidden lid-related settings under Power button and lid settings include:

Lid switch close action: LIDACTION
Lid open wake action: LIDOPENWAKE

Also note:

Lid open wake action controls what happens when the lid is opened: 0 = Do Nothing, 1 = Turn on the display.
This setting is available in Windows 10, version 1607 and later.
On many laptops, true power on when lid opens from a full shutdown is controlled by BIOS/UEFI or manufacturer firmware, not by Windows.

If the goal is to restore missing lid-related power options, verify the exact setting being targeted and use the documented alias or GUID for that setting.
