Can you give us more details? Is this about disconnecting your external monitor from your MacBookPro and hoping that it starts using the display of your laptop after that? And you want, or have to shut down your MacBook Pro manually by pressing and holding the power button until the display goes dark?

If I unplug my external monitor from my MacBook Pro before starting or while using my MacBookPro, it switches automatically back to the MacBook Pro display as the main display.
