If you are lucky enough to get one of those Vintage keyboards (e.g. AT port), then it might be interesting to notice that there are three buttons which can’t be easily found on modern keyboards: power, sleep and wakeup.

power, sleep and wakeup
So, these buttons still work by default, i.e. if you press them accidentally, they will work as expected. However, these buttons are rarely used and so it is better to turn them off just in case if you press them by mistakes.

You can safely turn these buttons off in Control Panel – Power Options and just select [do nothing] when these buttons are pressed.
