A button of the front of my HP 2310e monitor allows me to turn the monitor off.  When I try to do that, a message "Power Button Lockout" appears.  How do I fix that?

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting in the Microsoft Community forum.

    Based on the above description, it appears that you’re getting an error “Power Button Lockout” while turning off the monitor.

    This issue could occur if the monitor's Power Button Lockout function is enabled.

    To resolve this issue you need to Press and hold the Power button for 30 seconds to unlock the Power button function.
