Windows 10: Does the Power Button setting of 'Do nothing' still file a Windows Event log when button is...

Under:
Control Panel\Hardware and Sound\Power Options\System Settings


"When I press the power button:" has the option "Do nothing", which works on the PC. But I still wanted to add a task in the Task Scheduler when the button is pressed. So does it at least still file a Windows Event log when button is pressed, as I can't find it?

Your restart button is not your sleep button. A sleep button is one likely found on the keyboard. The restart button will only ever restart a PC and windows will moan about power being cut.
