     But this setting is about the *physical* power button. As you say,   
   you only use the ('Shut down' choice of) the *software* power button (on   
   the Start menu), this 'incorrect' setting of the action of the physical   
   power button should be irrelevant. So something is very strange here.   
      
     As I mentioned, my wife's Mini-PC has the same 'wrong' Sleep setting   
   for "Choose what the power buttons do" and it never gave a problem.   
      
     BUT, to be [f|F]rank, I hardly ever use the software 'Shut down'   
   function. The system is just active or sleeping or in hibernate, no need   
   for 'Shut down'. Once a month at Windows Update time, the system does a   
   'forced' Restart, but that's a Restart, not a Shut down.   
      
     Anyway, if the "improper shutdown error" problem is gone, all is good,   
   I suppose.   
      
     BTW, a minor correction to earlier information: I said that when the   
   'power' LED of the machine is off, it's safe to disconnect power, but on   
   my wife's Mini-PC I saw that that LED also turns off when the machine is   
   sleeping, so - at least on that machine - it's not just a simple *power*   
   LED.
