Changes the first screenshot and the instructions to using the Run window rather than the Windows 10 settings menu because the Windows 10 settings menu isn't the same as what is in Windows 11. This update changes the docs so they will work regardless of if the user is running Windows 10 or Windows 11.

This fixes #1373

In a Windows 11 installation, I see Change what the power buttons do available directly in the Hardware and Sound section. Windows 10 screenshots appear to also have it there. Can we skip the Choose a power plan step, or are you seeing it appear differently?

I'd have to verify with a W11 VM, but if we can cut that step out entirely, it's certainly be further improvement.

You can also use Windows Search to look for the "Run" program and launch it from there if you prefer. Once you have Run open, you will need to type in `control` and push enter to launch the Control Panel.
