    Hi Bhaskara,

    Please try these solutions:

    1. Open Command Prompt.
    2. Type the command below and press Enter: powercfg -restoredefaultschemes
    3. This will reset the Windows power plans to their default settings.
    4. If the issue continues, follow these steps:
    5. Press Windows key + R to open the Run dialog.
    6. Type regedit and press Enter.
    7. In Registry Editor, go to: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer
    8. On the right pane, double-click NoClose.
    9. Change Value data to 0, then click OK.
    10. Restart the computer.

    Check if the issue is resolved. If you need further assistance, feel free to let me know.

    Use the Power Options settings to restore normal power buttons and shutdown behavior.

    1. Open Control Panel:
      • Select Search on the taskbar, type control panel, and select it from the results.
    2. Check power button configuration:
      • Select System and Security.
      • In Power Options, select Choose what the power buttons do.
      • Select Change settings that are currently unavailable.
      • Under Power and sleep button settings:
        • For When I press the power button, choose Shut down or Sleep (as preferred) for both On battery and Plugged in.
      • Select Save changes.
    3. If Hibernate is missing and needed:
      • In the same Choose what the power buttons do page, after selecting Change settings that are currently unavailable, go to Shutdown settings.
      • Check Hibernate if available, then Save changes.

    After this, use Start > Power (or the physical power button) to shut down, sleep, or hibernate normally.
