There were 2 "Important Updates" from Windows Update that failed to install, so the power button was forced into "Shutdown". The installation started when I pressed the Shutdown button (they failed again, but I solved that issue too). Once the updates were installed, the button's behaviour went back to normal.

I choose Log off from the drop-down list for Power button action, the click Apply and OK buttons. The power button still displays Shut down and right-clicking the button and clicking Properties shows the Power button action to be Log off.

I can't find anyone else with this problem. I also am experiencing a problem with the active window or dialog box being behind inactive windows. Clicking on the active window does not bring it to the front. However, I do find many complaints, with no solution, about Taskbar auto-hide spontaneously stopping working so that taskbar covers windows. This problem has been in previous Windows versions. I can't believe how Bill Gates got to be so rich with such crappy products.
