Windows 10: 'turn off the display' option is missing from power buttion config

Hi,I could not find the 'turn off the display' option for what the sleep and power button do. I saw a solution for the same issue for Windows 10 but that register Key does not exist in Windows 11 so I don't know how to fix it. Could anyone help?

turn off display option missing in system power settings

I just got my first laptop 2 days ago from HP. Already in hindsight, I kind of wish I hadn't because of the lame support options, but the laptop itself is just fine with excellent display & performance. The keyboard is nice but the backlighting at my preferred sitting angle makes it look like the lower part of each character is "worn off", by that I mean the actual light doesn't show on the keys at the bottom, which makes them hard to distinguish. The Fn function keys are tiny too.

Anyway, all I first wanted to do is turn off the display without closing the lid, as this system only has a 3-cell battery (wtf) & there's no way it's going to last "9hrs 45min" on a full charge as HP says. So, I go to the power & sleep options and select "additional power settings", then "choose what closing the lid does". The option to "Turn off display" is not listed. Oh boy. After several failed attempts at getting HP support to actually help, I ran into an article where many people wanted to also know why that option was missing. A poster there said he went into the registry at Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\Power and modified the entry "CSEnabled" from 1 to 0, rebooted & viola! it was listed, although he did note that doing so worked when he pushes the power button once (and does so now on mine) BUT it also removed the "sleep" option. Ugh. I just checked and I too am now missing the sleep option. I mean it seems like such a simple thing like "turn off display" wouldn't involve all this research & registry modifying. Anyone know how I can get the "sleep" option back WHILE keeping the "turn off display" option? - Thanks

 

Power setting turns display off as set but then it turns right back on

Verna,

But you did not look at that tutorial's list of related tutorials for all the other
Add or Remove ... from Power Options - TenForumsTutorials
ones. That's what I suggested. The link to that particular tutorial was just a way in to the set of them.



And you'll find even more of the set by searching the list of tutorials.

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.
