    After having network issues on windows 7, i decided to try windows 10 on my m11x r3 to see if it could fix them, however it's been replaced by a more critical problem.

    Closing the laptop lid opens the external display menu and it often sets itself to "duplicate" mode, lowering the resolution to 720p with no way to reverse besides closing and opening the lid again.

    Does anyone have any ideas for a fix?

    You could try changing what closing the lid does in the control panel. Select "Do Nothing".
