    How to disable keyboard's Power button in Windows 10?


    Hi there,

    I have a simple, generic keyboard that has Power / Sleep / Wake Up buttons right above Print Screen / Scroll Lock / Pause.

    I want to disable them because I always shut down my computer accidentally and lose all my work.

    All solutions I found are for windows 7 and are about tweaking in the Control Panel\Hardware and Sound\Power Options\Edit Plan Settings, where I can edit Advanced Power Settings.

    However, that's the wrong thing to do because the "Power button and lid" section is not only for keyboard, it disables the computer case buttons as well which I normally use to shut down the PC.

    Can you help me how can I disable those keyboard buttons in Win10?

    :)
     

  2. No power management in Device Manager (Windows 10)

    Hi

    I'm trying to disable my keyboard from waking my laptop from sleep. I disabled my mouse (I just want to use power button to wake my laptop from sleep). I went to device manager but unfortunately, there is no "power management"option!

    In my second laptop, also running on Win 10, I have this option but here it does not exist.

    Where did it go? How do I disable keyboard from waking my laptop from sleep?

    Thank you

    Matti

    Touchscreen switches on

    "Bashes head against keyboard at the sheer ignorance of Microsoft Support Engineers" Did you even read my problem? I know how to do that... I didn't ask for instructions on how to set my power button to turn off my tablet. Obviously, Microsoft Software
    Engineers don't have Android or Apple smartphones or tablets, so I will explain... If you quick press the power button on a non-windows smartphone or tablet, it turns off the screen and disables the touchscreen so you can handle the device without the screen
    coming back on, and you turn the screen back on by pressing the power button again. However, if you set a Windows 10 tablet to turn off the screen by pressing the power button, then touching the screen turns it back on. I don't want this. I'm assuming that
    this is a limitation of that function. What I want is, either a workaround to disable the touch screen when the screen is switched off, or a way to let the Windows 10 Software team know that they need to implement this in a future update.
