Hello

How to create an icon to put my PC to sleep.

I have seen several solutions, such as "Alt+F4", but that doesn't work, it shuts down the PC.

Do you have a solution?

    I’ve seen that before.

    But I wanted an icon to put it in sleep mode whenever I want.

    "Don’t set up sleep mode."

    On my old keyboard, I had a "Sleep" key, which was very handy, but since that keyboard was junk, I took my old keyboard that doesn’t have that key.

    So, when I stop using my PC, I have to use:

    1) Windows key
    2) Click on the "Power" icon
    3) Click on sleep.

    Not great.

      For which keyboard and on which PC?...

    Hello.

    Simple sleep mode, I don’t believe it exists. However, hibernate or shutdown, yes, you can create a shortcut on the desktop with the option to change the icon. In case you're interested, right-click on the desktop >>> new >>> shortcut and copy-paste into the location of the item >>>

    rundll32.exe powrprof.dll,SetSuspendState 0,1,0

    then click on next, enter a shortcut name, hibernate for example. Just right-click on this shortcut and via properties change the icon.

    This is just a suggestion of course.

    See you later . . .

    The PC is an "hp"

    The keyboard where the key was is a keyboard that I have with my "hp" computer.
    The keys work randomly or you have to hit them hard.

     And the old keyboard is a Lonovo

      Hello,

      I'm not following you: the solution proposed by yclick and taken up by Jojola guitare works, just to be sure, I just retested it.

    Or another solution via keyboard >>> press the Windows key + X, release and then click on D and then V.

    To wake from sleep, left click on the mouse. But there is no doubt that clicking on "Start" >>> shut down or disconnect >>> sleep will be as quick as using the keyboard command.

    See you later . . .

    Oops!!!! My phone was on silent.

    It's better
    Both solutions allow you to put it on standby, but it doesn't come back by pressing a key; you need to turn it back on by pressing the power button.

      Yes indeed. Sorry, but there are no new ideas other than those proposed.

      For the second solution in < 8 >, you just need to left-click with the mouse and not on the start button.

      See you...

    Too bad

    Yet this famous sleep key on the white keyboard does have a command, doesn't it?

    Thanks again for everything
