We've all been there, pressed the shutdown button by mistake mid game or with unsaved work open.
Well my PC, like many others is on top of my desk, right below a shelf that I usually reach for that holds my controllers and other random stuff. (it's pretty low and weird) so as you can imagine, my chest, arm or hand presses the button quite often which is conveniently placed at a 45° angle on the top of my case.
Sure, I can cancel the shutdown if I can do it in time, but it closes ALL of my apps that are open at the time, like my mouse button program, steam or any game, etc..
But is there any way to stop this? To make the cancel button useful?
Perhaps a two-step shutdown like something to ask you if you're sure you want to shutdown? I did try googling this, but it just came up with threads about Dells shutting down randomly.
If there is no setting I would greatly appreciate it if somebody included a trusty third party app for this.
Hope you can help thanks!
I really don't want to result to rearranging my setup or disconnecting the power button.
