External monitors turn off when lid closed

Question

My system recently started turning of two of my 3 external monitors when I close the lid on my laptop. In my office I have 2 monitors on the desk and another monitor on the wall. The ones on the desk turn off; the one on the wall display stays on.

I have a latitude 5300 with a D6000 docking station. I have already gone into the power management settings and set it to "do nothing" when the lid closes.

Any other ideas? TIA.

I resolved the issue. Nothing needed updating. I went to the Display settings and had to (re)extend the desktop. The displays had magically disconnected themselves in the display settings, so once I extended and reset the primary monitor as the main monitor, the issue is fixed.
