    Hello Zaidbaby,

    With it grayed out, it looks like you may have a group policy (option 4 or 5 below) set for this that prevents it from being changed.

    You might see if you may be able to change the Power button action using one of the other options in the tutorial below instead.

    Hope this helps, :)
