Turn off power LED on HP laptop

Hello guys, I am trying to turn off power ON LED on my HP EliteBook 840 G5 (The LED on the power button) and I couldn't find the led under ```/sys/class/leds ```. I would highly appreciate if anyone can help me solve this issue

First of all, is that possible to do on Windows? If yes, what program is used on Windows to turn of the LED?

Also, try checking it the directory

/sys/class/leds

as root user

Checking the directory as root didn't help, and I think that function doesn't exist on windows sadly (or at least i couldn't find it on a quick search)

Then probably you can't shutdown that LED from the OS, my thinkpad doesn't have that function too

Very sad, i might put a piece of tape or maybe disconnect the LED from the motherboard if it is possible if i can't find any software solution
