    Hi there,

    I'm using Windows 7 on an X220, and I would like to wake the machine up from standby by opening the lid, but not entering standby by closing it.

    So:
    - Closing lid: do nothing
    - Opening lid: wakeup from standby

    I am pretty sure I had this config at some point, but I am unable to find it again. Anyone can help me? Thanks!

    I might be wrong but I think the lid wakeup works only if you put it to sleep by closing the lid.

    I'm not totally sure but my X220 comes out of sleep when opening the lid. To make it not sleep when closing, enable Instant Resume.
