I just wanted to ask on how the power button options work.

 

Say, like if you wanted to make the button do nothing, and you turned it off mannually from clicking the button from the Start menu, can the button on the laptop still work if you want to turn it back on?

    Power button options are available from the control panel:

     

    Control Panel > Power Options. Select 'Choose what the power buttons do'.

     

    Power button options are:

    Do nothing
    Sleep
    Hibernate
    Shut down

     

    Sleep button options are:

    Do nothing
    Sleep
    Hibernate


    Powering on will continue to work as expected.

    So can the power button work still if I want to turn it back, even though I set it to "do nothing"?

    Yes. As I said:

     

    Powering on will continue to work as expected.
