I am visually challenged so don't require the lid of the laptop open when browsing as I use a external keyboard
this problem started from almost a week now.
when i close the lid and open a symple page like google.com the page doesnt open and if i keep chrome open for sometime it stops responding.
i have uninstalled and reinstalled chrome.
i have tried chrome Canary i have also tried updating the display driver but its still the same.
what may be the problem.
may be i must check event viewer.

Install another browser like firefox and see if you get internet with lid closed.

Try Updating the network driver

If Edge works and Chrome doesn't then it's a problem with Chrome. Browsers have tons of bugs, every new release says bug fixes in it's relelase notes.
