• Power button option-market problem / stop setting

  Current running Windows 7 Home Premium on an HP desktop with a 3.20 Ghz processor and 8 GB of RAM.

  My Tower sits at the bottom of a carriage of the printer beside my desk.  I have the option of high power performance put and I changed my eating and sleep button options to do nothing to keep my toddler son to turn off the computer.  But the power button restarts or shuts down the computer.  How can I stop this from happening?  Is it possible to completely disable the power button all together?

  If you are talking about the power on the screen button (on the start menu), and then if you upgrade to Windows Professional Edition, you can disable it by using the system policy settings (this is how large companies lock their settings so that employees cannot close their computers or such... it is also used for kiosks where you do not want the public to have access to the switch).

  If you mean the real power on the computer tower - no button, you cannot disable it from stopping in case of holding.  It is the substitution of failsafe, where the computer cannot meet the close one-touch command.  The only option it is locked, or open the case and disconnect the cable (which could mean that you can no longer turn on the computer).

• I have the acer S7 392. How can I disable the power button?

  Is there a way to disable the power button? Most of the PC force at least you press the power button for a few seconds before it shuts down, but this button, which is conveniently located for an accident, immediately stops the machine.

  Please someone tell me that I can turn it off or put it in the wok with a timer.

  BTW, love this machine (less button and power battery life)

  In this case, follow the steps below to solve the problem:
  1. click "Start" and select "Control Panel".
  2. in the control panel search window, search for Power Options.
  3 click on "Power Options" and in the window that appears, click on "Choose what the power button" option in the list of options in the left pane.
  4. click the drop-down menu besides that 'when I press the power button"and choose the option you want.
  5. click on "save changes".

  Hope this will help you.

• Options for the power button Windows XP to ask what I want to do when the Start button / stop is pressed

  Original title: Start button / stop - "ask me what to do" - where is it?

  Under XP, when I pressed the power button I could put it "Ask Me what to do." This is very useful for two reasons:

  -My PC is under my desk, and if I'm not careful, I can press the power button with my knee...

  -To turn off, I can hit the power button / stop rather than start etc, then choosing.

  The feature exists on Windows 7 (press alt + F4), then how do you link that to the press the power button? Why this was removed?

  See you soon,.

  Hello

  Yes, there are only work-a-rounds and that is why I suggested that
  thread. There are also a few details about why he was abducted that
  are especially that in general as it caused more problems than it solved. Then
  for those who have used the function correctly, it is a concern when trying
  to restore its functionality. To my knowledge, is not 100%
  this case, just ability cannot be added in by a registry setting
  as support has been totally removed. If this is the case, then the work - a-
  towers or possible 3rd party solutions are the remaining options.

  Please let us know if you find a better solution.

  I hope this helps.

• macOS Sierra - press and hold the power button to enter the mode 'sleep'

  I recently updated my MacBook Air (13 inch, early 2015) model of El Capitan macOS Sierra 10.12. Before the update, hold down the power button / stop for 2-3 seconds, put the machine in standby mode. It does not properly after the update. Release the power button to switch to sleep mode works only once after each time you start the machine.

  I know he has an option to set the mode of sleep using Ctrl + button / stop and by selecting one of three options to restart, sleep and Shutdown, but who needs 3 more click click and is not fast. Also, independently of any application that is open, pressing the button walk / stop worked fine before the update, but now I need to be on the desktop even do Ctrl + Power button work.

  All patches available for it? Miss me the old way of put my Mac to sleep I do not remember if I did some tweak in my Mac, or was it a default feature...

  Greetings jainam2209,

  Thank you for using communities of Apple Support. It seems you want to put the Mac to sleep, but it does not always work.
  I would recommend read you these articles, the first article explains the ways that macOS Sierra is supposed to go to sleep.
  The second article can help if the computer won't sleep when you're trying to sleep.

  Help, please.

  Try a forced reboot. No data is lost during this procedure. Hold on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears on the screen. Then, rotate the unit and try to stop.

• HP Envy 700-214: Message "locking of the power button.

  I am getting an intermittent box appears which says "Power Button lockout".

  Tour: HP Envy 700-214 with two display monitors

  Monitor 1: HP 2010 (DVI)

  Monitor 2: HP L1950g (VGA)

  Windows 8.1

  Periodically this box appears on the monitor 1.  Sometimes the monitor turns off.  When I turn it back on, I'll get a surveillance area of the State, which opens by saying:

  DVI: assets

  VGA: No Signal

  1600 x 900 60 hz

  Which is curious since the monitor that is upward is the DVI monitor.  However, this box disappears after a few seconds.

  Is the problem with my video card in the computer, or is it with the monitor?

  [ETA]  I stopped and restarted the computer and the monitor and held the key monitor more than 10 seconds, as suggested in other posts found here on this site. [/ETA]

  Thank you very much.  Please let me know if you need more information.

  Step 2. Press and hold the power button for at least a minute
  Step 3. Plug the power cable in the monitor, and then to the wall outlet
  Step 4. Press the Menu button on the monitor
  Step 5. Navigate to the factory reset option and select

• Why Satellite Pro A300 does not start when you press the power button?

  Suddenly my new Satellite Pro A300 does not start correctly when you press the power button. The situation is the following: when I press the power button is displayed the opening of Toshiba (Leading Innovation) and the disappers image quickly. Then there is a black screen for about 30 seconds. There is a rectangular frame with the text Microsoft Corporation under. And nothing happens however long wait.

  In order to get with the trial starting I then shut down the computer by pressing the power button until the computer turns off. ("The hard way to close")
  Now, I press the power button shortly to turn on the computer. Then, the computer starts normally with the photo to open Toshiba and after a few seconds, I wonder to open the computer in safe mode or in normal mode. I now choose to open in normal mode and the computer opens normally and is ready to work.

  What should I do to get a normal departure procedure?

  When the laptop starts normally (after choosing normal mode) stop your laptop properly using START > shut down option. Next launch should be normal.

  When the OS is moving towards the low irregularly will always ask you how to start this new (secure or normal mode).
  The same thing happen on my Satellite A300.

• Satellite L550-1CW does not start by pressing the power button / stop

  I have a Toshiba Satellite L550-1cw that won't start, lights up when I press the power button all the lights at the front, the fan starts and he is looking for a HARD drive for about 2 seconds and then stops.

  I tried a new HARD drive, but the same happens.
  I was told that all this must be ignored and buy a new one that is not an option.
  I love this laptop and want to run again as this is the best I have ever owned.

  Help, please

  Andrew

  Can you give us more information on this vulnerability?
  You see something on the screen after pressing the power button?
  You can access the BIOS by pressing the F2 key immediately after switching on the device?

  Despite this whole issue, I think that if nothing is visible on the screen it could be a serious problem with one of the following: RAM modules, motherboard, CPU/GPU.

  From my experience the RAM memory modules are not very expensive (2nd hand might be good enough) and the replacement isn t very delicate in the case where the faulty memory causes this problem, the laptop could be set for a little money.

  But in case of problems of motherboard, laptop repair procedure could be very expensive.
