Policy CSP - ADMX_Power
Tip
This CSP contains ADMX-backed policies which require a special SyncML format to enable or disable. You must specify the data type in the SyncML as <Format>chr</Format>
. For details, see Understanding ADMX-backed policies.
The payload of the SyncML must be XML-encoded; for this XML encoding, there are a variety of online encoders that you can use. To avoid encoding the payload, you can use CDATA if your MDM supports it. For more information, see CDATA Sections.

./Device/Vendor/MSFT/Policy/Config/ADMX_Power/Dont_PowerOff_AfterShutdown
This policy setting allows you to configure whether power is automatically turned off when Windows shutdown completes. This setting doesn't affect Windows shutdown behavior when shutdown is manually selected using the Start menu or Task Manager user interfaces. Applications such as UPS software may rely on Windows shutdown behavior.
This setting is only applicable when Windows shutdown is initiated by software programs invoking the Windows programming interfaces ExitWindowsEx() or InitiateSystemShutdown().
If you enable this policy setting, the computer system safely shuts down and remains in a powered state, ready for power to be safely removed.
If you disable or don't configure this policy setting, the computer system safely shuts down to a fully powered-off state.
