Windows 10: How to turn poorly placed POWER button into NONE/SLEEP?

I have a friend who bought this on my recommendation --





Pretty nice for $429 at Walmart. The product has one known shortcoming --





That Power button is WAY too close to that Power button. So someone in Amazon comments said --

"Power button placement next to the delete key was a pain, but through windows you can change the function of the power button to none/sleep."

Is this possible? And how? And then I wonder but what if you need to do a forced shutdown? It would seem to me that clicking the key should do nothing but leaning on it would cause the shutdown.

I don't know where to begin the begin, if you will.

3. Turn "wake computer" from UpdateOrchestrator in Task Scheduler
4. Run all the troubleshooters from windows
5. Reinstalled Windows latest build

turning off the display option for power button

Hi Caro,

The function to turn off the display on your device only affects the monitor but the rest of the programs still run in the background. On the other hand, sleep mode turns off any unused programs to save energy. To change the power option on your device,
follow the steps below:

• Type Control Panel in the search box and press Enter.
• Select Hardware and Sound.
• Select Power Options.
• Select Choose what the power buttons do.
• Under Power and sleep button settings, click the drop-down arrow for
  When I press the power button: option and select Turn off the display.
• Click Save changes.

Once you're done, check if the music still plays after clicking the power button.

Feel free to post back if you have other concerns.
