Fault of the power button on a Windows computer

The power button on my Windows computer is not functioning properly and fails to turn on or shut down the device consistently. I have tried cleaning the button, checking the connections, and updating the system, but the issue persists, and I am seeking advice on possible hardware or software causes and potential solutions to fix this power button fault.

    Check "Allow this device to wake the computer"

    The power switch works when tested but the PC still does not respond.

    Look for any loose or damaged cables and reconnect or replace them if needed.
