latitude 7200 2 in 1 Fn+End key? what does it do? turn off display only or device to sleep? Any solution for turning off the display only?
i have a dell latitude 7200 2 in 1 laptop and wanted to know what behaviour does the FN + End key as its not mention in the manual
a few hours ago i tried it, the behaviour was it would turn off the display only, and background processes still starts [i was playing music on the background and my music is still playing while the screen is off]
but then now when i tried it, it would turn of the display and also stops the background processes [that is when the display is off, my music stopped playing] which i presume it put the device to sleep, which i can confirm by the fan behaviour, it would stop for a few seconds, and ramp back up again, which is the same behaviour as putting the device to sleep
i also set the power button to sleep btw just i case i need to sleep the device, rather than waiting for windows to turn off the display based on the "On battery power, turn off my screen after 1 Minutes" [power & battery > screen and sleeps] settings
maybe its because of that?? im not too sure, so thats why i need confirmation on what does this Fn + End button does because its not mention on the manual.
Thanks!
im also looking for solutions to turning off the display only but keep background process running such as for listening to music, on the basis of whenever i want it i can do it [for example running a command, shortcut, batch script, etc.], if you have any solution please feel free to tell me!

The End key by itself is a dual function key: End key and sleep key (crescent moon)

Fn + End key is for print the current desktop screen
To turn off LCD display, try Fn + D

also... something that i just discovered, and something that i want to tell..
is that sleeps still lets you have background processes still running!!
buuut. at the unfortunate case of, only with Microsoft store apps that would work, or in my research correct me if im wrong,, UWP apps.
something that im not sure of, its because those apps supported modern standby??? or have exclusive audio control???
but one of the things that im sure off is that you can set the app to run on background via windows settings
with my default browser, i couldn't do anything to see its app settings
but with a microsoft store apps or UWP app, i can change the settings, in which it also gave me the ability to set the background processes settings!
so, the proof that i have is playing both music, one on YT Music on Opera Web, and the other via windows media player, when on sleep the music on YT Music on opera web would stop, and the other music that was playing via windows media player would still play!
i hope this post that i made will help you for those who have a 2 in 1 dell laptop and want to listen to music while the device is on sleep!

also why is my power option on "pressing the power button : turn of the display" is missing? maybe thats the option that i need?
looking on the web, there's should be the option of turn off the display? but not on my dell latitude 7200 2 in 1?
