Q&A: Can I completely disable the Power button on my laptop?

Posted on February 12, 2021

Question from Eric:  I received a hand-me-down ASUS Zenbook UX305 with Window 10 from my daughter.

I like it a lot but there’s one thing about it that drives me nuts.

The Power button on this laptop is located on the keyboard and it looks just like a regular key. Just about every time I start typing I hit the Power button by mistake and it shuts the machine down.
