New Equipment Not Configured Correctly

[DevilDog]

Good Day. I recently purchased a new Dell Latitude 3520 (Windows 11) along with the Dell D3100 Docking Station. So far I have everything working reasonably well except for a couple of things I hope to get ironed out.

First, when I close the laptop, the display on my dual monitors shut off. Additionally, the docking station isn't charging my laptop.

I found that the docking station can charge the laptop if I use the USB-C input on the laptop, so I've ordered an adaptor for the cable from the docking station to the input USB-C input on the laptop. Hopefully that fixes the powering problem.

I would like to keep the laptop closed to protect the screen and keyboard when not in use. I have set the power to stay on (Never selected) when not in use and that doesn't seem to do anything.

Any suggestions? I would appreciate any help.
