Windows 10: Why is there a delay when clicking the power button icon on the windows startup?

Hi, I have a persistent issue where when I go to shutdown my PC via the windows startup power button icon, there is a 1-2 second delay in clicking this icon to bring up the normal power options Shutdown, Restart, Sleep, etc.My PC worked very good and I did not had this delay. This delay started with the update on late Nov/Dec, do not quite remember the exact date, but it started right after an windows update.Kindly please help.Best regards,Marian

Windows 10 power button not working

Hi

Welcome to Microsoft community.

If your physical power button is not responding when your computer is running despite being able to turn on the laptop, it seems like a setting or software issue. You've done well to update your chipset driver, BIOS, and Windows.

Here are a few more steps you can try:

1. Check Power Button Settings:
   
   • Right-click the Start button and select "Power Options".
     
   • Click on "Choose what the power button does" on the left side of the window.
     
   • Make sure the "When I press the power button" option is set to "Shut down" or "Sleep" based on your preference.
     
   • Click "Save changes".
     
2. Turn off Fast Startup:
   
   • Go to Control Panel > Hardware and Sound > Power Options > System Settings.
     
   • Click on "Change settings that are currently unavailable".
     
   • Under "Shutdown settings", uncheck the box that says "Turn on fast startup".
     
   • Click "Save changes" and restart your PC.
     
3. Run the Power Troubleshooter:
   
   • Go to Settings > Update & Security > Troubleshoot > Additional troubleshooters.
     
   • Find and run the "Power" troubleshooter.
     
4. Try a Different Power Plan:
   
   • Go to Power Options (as in step 1).
     
   • Try using a different power plan like "Balanced" or "High performance".
     
5. Reset Power Plans to Default:
   
   • Open Command Prompt as an administrator (right-click on Start button > Command Prompt (Admin)).
     
   • Type powercfg –restoredefaultschemes then press enter.
     
   • Restart your PC.
     

Please let me know if you need any further assistance. Thank you.
