    Power button


    I have a new computer, and the Power button is on top - right next to a USB port. When I remove a thumb drive it's tight, my hand will press on the Power button, and it does what it's supposed to. Is there a way to add a confirmation to pressing the Power button

    :)

      Control Panel.
    • Click on View all on the left navigation pane.
    • Click on Power.
    • Click on Advanced on the
      Power
      dialog box and click on Run as administrator (Enter the credentials if required).
    • Click on Next and follow onscreen instruction complete the Power troubleshooter.
    Step 2:

    Try to restore the default power plan settings and check to isolate the issue.

    • Press Windows + R keys on the keyboard to open Run command.
    • Type powercfg.cpl to open the power settings.
    • Click on Change plan settings beside your current plan.
