Surface Pro 8 - Power Button Function

Question

Hi

When my Surface Pro 8 is in tablet mode, the power button seems to have no function. How can I change the settings to that pressing the power button puts the device to sleep in tablet mode?

Hi CristinaSantoro,

Thank you for reaching Microsoft Community.

Please go to Control Panel > Hardware and Sound > Power Options. Select Choose what the power buttons do on the left side. Change the dropdown for When I press the power button to Sleep under both On battery and Plugged in. Click Save changes.

Hope this helps.

Kind regards,

Marrion
