If it somehow just won't work or something's broken then you may have to install a third-party power management app. (That is a full Shutdown-and-Restart, not just close-the-lid-Sleep-open-the-lid-Wake.) You may need to login/Run as Administrator and you may need to restart the machine (twice) for changes to persist. Registry hacks which circumvent the UI automation layers can be hit or miss. Windows tends to work better when you work with Windows as Microsoft intended. Including power plan options for battery power vs external power.

You can find more options in 'Change battery settings' and 'Change when the computer sleeps' and 'Change what closing the lid does'. 'Balanced' and 'Power saver' and 'High performance' are just convenience labels, you can configure them or (re)name them as you like. You can enable/disable/timeout each specific item as you like.
