    Convertible power button set to switch off display, not computer.


    Essentially I just want the power button on my 2in1 to turn off the display but leave all other functions running. Excuse my language, I'm quite new to fiddling around with this stuff - I found an option thingy available in regedit.exe and I've used cmd run as administrator (windows+r>cmd>cntrl+shft+enter) to try change the option but it didn't work.

    powercfg -setacvalueindex SCHEME_CURRENT 4f971e89-eebd-4455-a8de-9e59040e7347 7648efa3-dd9c-4e3e-b566-50f929386280 4

    powercfg -setdcvalueindex SCHEME_CURRENT 4f971e89-eebd-4455-a8de-9e59040e7347 7648efa3-dd9c-4e3e-b566-50f929386280 4

    powercfg -SetActive SCHEME_CURRENT
    I also know that it used to be an option which is I guess why the option is in regedit, leftover I guess. Surely there is a way to switch it on though?

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\Power\PowerSettings\4f971e89-eebd-4455-a8de-9e59040e7347\7648efa3-dd9c-4e3e-b566-50f929386280\4

    You can use Control Panel --> Power Options -->Choose what power button do.

    I should have mentioned, this does not work which is why I am trying all these other things.
