   I've found an unusual thing in Windows 11, while looking around for   
   things that might have crashed the system and corrupted it extensively.   
   In Reliability Monitor there are error messages of "unexpected shutdown"   
   tied to every occasion that I've shut the damn thing down. So I tried my   
   usual shutdown, rebooted, and lo! unexpected shutdown.   
   I found out that in the Power Options for Win11 there's the option to   
   choose what happens with shutdown, and mine was set to Sleep.   
   Now, that seems utterly stupid. I have two (no, three) questions.   
   1. What earthly advantage does that give? Surely, more problem-causing   
   than helpful.   
   2. Who or what set it on my box of tricks?   
   3. The on/off button always went off. WTF?
