If the PC is in Away Mode, any of the following events cause the PC to exit Away Mode:
Any system button press:
Hardware Power button.
Hardware Sleep button.
Mobile lid switch.
Any HID Power or Sleep button event.
Any user input (such as keyboard or mouse input).
If a system button is pressed to exit Away Mode, the action that is associated with that button is not executed and the PC exits Away Mode. For example, if the hardware Power button is mapped to Shut Down in power policy, when the Power button is pressed, the system does not shut down but only exits Away Mode.
When the PC exits Away Mode, the following actions occur:
The primary display is turned on.
Analog audio is un-muted.
A notification is delivered to registered drivers and applications that the system has exited Away Mode. For more information, see “Registering for Away Mode Notifications” later in this paper.
