I commonly set all of our PCs for our A/V systems to where the power buttons only allow restarts, not Sleep or Shutdown. They'll all on Windows 10 21H2. I set the 2 registry keys as follows:
Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\PolicyManager\default\Start\HideShutDown Value to 1
Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\PolicyManager\current\device\Start\HideSleep Value to 1
This has worked just fine, but on one system that only works if the user has local admin rights. Otherwise, if they don't, it comes back with:
There are currently no power options available.
I'm not sure why local admin rights affects this, but clearly without it Restart isn't an option and no options exist. I've checked everything I know, including group policy, but I can't figure it out. Any ideas?
