The first combo press won't display anything because the (closed & docked) laptop is still in "PC screen only" mode. (You can press Windows+i to quickly open the Settings app.) Click Choose what closing the lid does at the left side of the Power Options window. Click the Choose what closing the lid does link from the left sidebar. Select the first result to open Control Panel. Click the search icon in the taskbar and search for control panel.

POWER OPTIONS WHEN CLOSING LID DOCKSTATION MANUAL
UPDATE: It seems that once the external monitors have gone black for any reason, such as via manual power-switch-off or any sort of power-saving mode, then Windows 10 display settings are getting auto reset back to "Display to PC screen only". Even worse than the intakes being blocked, the cooling system is on the keyboard side, and that heat becomes way too close to the screen itself if the lid is closed, which might damage the screen.
