Windows 10: I can't get rid of the "Update and Shutdown" on my power button menu.

So I have an older system from 2011 that cannot be updated to the Windows feature update 20H2 or else it crashes every 5 minutes. I am currently on 1909 and it works fine. The problem I have is that Microsoft seems to be forcing me to update now and always displays "Update and Shutdown" and "Update and Restart" in my power button menu. I can't just shut my computer down or restart. I've been putting it in sleep mode ever since this started or using the "hard" physical reset button on my tower.How do I get rid of of these 2 things and get back my normal shutdown and restart options?i7 2600k

missing sleep menu in power

Hi,

Missing Sleep option in Power menu is usually caused by outdated or corrupted device drivers. For us to better assist you, we would like to ask the following:

• Have you made any recent changes on your computer prior to the issue?
• When you check the Power options in Control Panel, did you mean that the Sleep option is not displaying in the Shutdown settings?

If you haven't check the Shutdown settings in Control Panel, we suggest to do so and make sure that the Sleep option is enabled. To check the Shutdown settings, follow these steps:

• In Cortana search, type control panel.
• Choose Control Panel from the list.
• Click System and Security and select Power Options.
• Click Choose what the power buttons do in the left pane of the window.
• Under Shutdown settings, put a tick in the Sleep
  box and click Save changes.

If the Sleep option is already enabled and it still doesn't appear in the Power menu, we recommend that you keep the device drivers up-to-date. For your reference, check this article on how to
update drivers in Windows 10.

Update us with the outcome so we can provide further assistance.

How to remove Power Button Menu - if you find it useless.

Suggestion for Nokia.



As there is only 1 button to produce impulses, number of impulses sent by human should have meaning:

• Standby
• Hibernate
• Shutdown

Nokia Power Management would show its Power Button menu on first click and launch (5 sec) timer, if Power Button was not pressed during that time (or keyborad or mouse selection made), first option should activate (Standby). If Power Button is clicked for
second time, the (Hibernate) option becomes selected, and timer is reset and if nothing happen, after (5 sec) timeout the option (Hibernate) activates.



This should allow single button operation of all power functions of Booklet.



The selection could be sound (voice) assisted, for cases when Booklet lid is closed.
