Microsoft is changing how Windows evaluates third-party drivers as bad ones were silently draining batteries and tanking performance for years.

    No one should be pressing the power button and thinking it is shutting down the computer. That’s user error.

        Power doesn’t mean “shut down”. Never has.

        It does, but it doesn’t shut down by default and hasn’t for a loooooong time. Ever, probably. Even my old 186 you had to hold it down to shut it down.
