I've got an HP laptop running Windows 11, and I've noticed a weird issue. Whenever I close the lid and then open it back up, my laptop goes haywire. It quickly minimizes and maximizes programs, and it flips the screen resolution from landscape to portrait and back, all in about 1-3 seconds. It's driving me nuts! I've tried to disable screen rotation using the registry editor, but that didn't help. Does anyone have any suggestions for fixing this?

It sounds like your laptop's panel might automatically switch orientations, kind of like a tablet does. This happens when the monitor shuts off when you close the lid and then re-initializes when you open it again. Some brands tend to use components that might act this way. You could check if there are any firmware updates available for your laptop that might address this issue.
Just give it a second or two! Sometimes, these laptops take a moment to sort themselves out when you reopen the lid. But if it's excessive, you might want to dig into the settings or even check your display drivers to see if there's an update.
Definitely be careful with BIOS settings and disk setups. You don't want to risk losing any data! Make sure you've backed everything up before making any major changes.
