Windows Vista Power Buttons


Windows Vista Power Buttons a new setup but a confusing twist, the button actually is set on sleep by default on my laptop, which is not particularly useful for everybody including me. When I want something off, I want it totally off. Now because of that confusion it caused me I’ll teach you how to set the power button to shutdown properly and not go on “sleep mode”. Let’s start, shall we? Ok, good.

  1. Click on the Start Orb
  2. On the search bar type powercfg.cpl press enter.
  3. Select the corresponding Power Plan (Power saver, High Performance, Balanced or other custom Plan)
  4. On the Power Plan that you chose, Click “Change plan settings” that is located below a plan
  5. Click “Change advanced power settings” look for Power buttons and Lid
  6. Now you can change the options
  1. Power button action - to change the way hardware power button functions
  2. Start menu power button - to change the way power button on the Start Menu functions

Now you’re all set apply the changes. no need to restart you’re computer, it should be working as it should be right now. You can either test it now or test it later it’s up to you. Happy tweaking!
