Microsoft Windows 11

Hello All.  I have never communicated on a support forum, so please bear with me.

I have a HP ENVY X 360 Laptop that I purchase in late November 2019.  This past weekend my power button failed to work.  I recall this happened before, if I remember correctly, about a year ago.  After unplugging the laptop, the switch began working.  I can tell you, when this happens, it really freaks me out thinking there is no way to get into my computer.  

Is this a known issue?  If so, am I doing something that may cause this to occur?  Also, is there another method to power up the laptop if this happens again and I am unable to activate the power switch located on the left side of the laptop?

 

I appreciate any insight.

Thanks,

Chip
