i remember a similar issue for desktop computers from ~15 years ago, and a keyboard with a helpful shutdown button. i think it was located a bit to the right of F12. from memory windows just started shutting down and there wasn't a way to interrupt it. pretty funny. not something you'd hit often, but possible to hammer accidentally if playing a full screen game that used a bunch of F1-F12 keys.

after hitting this a few times while playing games i levered all of those extra helpful keys out.

Yes but I don't use Windows on said machine :)

Edit: oops meant @netsharc

I have a Lenovo Flex 10 - the volume rocker is close to the power button and feels the same. Accidentally leave the volume on full, open a youtube video or independent article, accidentally turn off the device. Wake our baby either with the noise or my subsequent swearing at the useless machine.

But Windows also has that option: "When I press the power button: [Dropdown]", and one of the options is "Do nothing"...
