Specify function of big Shutdown button

Suggestion:  I would like to be able to specify the function of the big Shutdown button.  What I usually do is Lock, but when it's late and I'm tired, occasionally I have clicked on the big Shutdown button instead of the little arrow for the menu.  This is a pain because then I have to reboot.  Even if I cancel the shutdown, some unknown number of programs have already terminated.

Another possibility would be to ask for confirmation of things like Shutdown, Restart, and Logoff, as XP used to do.

If you set the power options in Windows, Start 10 will reflect them.

In Start10 settings on the configure page there is a section called "What should the power button do?"  You can change that to what you would like to happen for the big button.
