I have this odd problem with Chrome Remote Desktop where when my target Windows 10 laptop has its lid closed, windows do not display properly(the windows display nothing): window that isn't displaying properly

I did some research and it appears by disabling ACPI Lid in Device Manager the problem is fixed, but might have some unintended side effects. How would I be able to fix this? Preferably without disabling any system devices.

FYI in the power settings, I set the laptop to do nothing when the lid is closed.

I too tried changing the ACPI lid to use the "Microsoft Basic Display Adapter" but that didn't work. What did work was when I went to control panel - Device Manager - Display adapters then Right Clicked and selected 'Disable Device' for my display adapter.

This allowed me to use Chrome Remote Desktop with the lid closed. I have a Dell Latitude 5520.
