    I don’t know how to windows, but in Linux I just disable the power button on my laptop. Long press still works, this was to avoid accidentally putting the laptop to sleep when accidentally pressing the power button

      You can set the power button in Windows to either, do nothing, make the computer sleep, hibernate the computer, shut down, or turn off the display.

      I’ll just stick with covering it up. Without fail, if I leave it uncovered my cat will press it. She’s even held it long enough for a forced shutdown twice that I can think of.

        That is hilarious.

        I spent a while trying to figure out how a cat could possibly long press a power button, even pressing it at all should be a challenge…

        Then I remembered that most people use laptops.

        I would be impressed if a cat could hold the power button in for several seconds on my tower, you have to depress the button about a 1/4 inch.

          My friends cats do this all the time. Their paws are small enough to be able to push the button down easily.
