  1. Can I Get MacOS Type Power Button Functionality?


    I own a 2015 27-inch intel iMac running MacOS Mojave and has the latest version of Windows 10 installed and I want to see if even by third-party, I can make it so when I hold the power button, it goes into hibernation mode, and if I tap the power button, it turns off the screen and cannot be awaken by the computer, nor the mouse or keyboard inputs until the power button is pressed again. I really love the multi-functionality of the MacOS and really hope to see these kinds of options available even by third-party for the power button for my iMac, and would be really useful for my needs.

    :)

    Is there a way to make custom function to power button in windows 10?

    The power button does not generate a key-code that can be intercepted.
    It is still possible to detect and block, but requires a program that blocks
    its action while running.

    The steps to doing it are described here. Future changes in Windows might disable
    this solution.


    More detailed instructions are found
    on Stack Overflow.

    Power button no longer locks screen

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.

    From the description it appears that, Power button is not functioning as expected and it always does some other function while pressing it.

    I suggest you to run the Power troubleshooter and check if it helps.

    1) Type Troubleshooting in the windows search box.

    2) Click on Troubleshooting and select the
    view all
    option on the left pane.

    3) Click on Power troubleshooter and follow the prompts.

    I also suggest you to run the Hardware and device troubleshooter and check.


    • Type “troubleshooting” in the search box and click on
      troubleshooter

    • In the left pane, click on View all

    • Now click on Hardware and device and follow the on screen instruction.
    I also recommend you to contact the place of purchase and check if they can help.

    Hope this helps. Please reply to us with the status of the issue.

    Thanks.
