I went to the HP forum that I found with a Google search and so far have gotten no responses to my specific question, but there is a similar question that received an answer that might work for me. I'll try it. I hope it works, because this machine has come on all by itself in the middle of the night twice. Who knows how much electricity that's wasting?
Edit: Here are the responses from the related question.
Hi,
What is the Operating System of your machine ? For Windows 8 and 8.1, please try: hold down Win key then pess I. This will give you an option to turn the machine off. You can also setup icons to turn the machine off and restart.
Hi,
The Win key is the key which has Windows symbol on it, next to the left Alt key, same row with the space bar.
Off topic, here's the text of the one email from Google I was able to find. It used my real name, so I substituted the name people know me by here, and a fake gmail address.
