I’d love to know the answer to this. I (thankfully) don’t have one on my desktop but my laptop still has one. I wish it didn’t as I’ve never intentionally shut it off and for a while the geniuses at Microsoft had the thing default to OFF every time I booted the laptop. It serves no purpose as every character or function it gives you access to can also be accessed through a dedicated key elsewhere on the keyboard.
