Users never cease to amaze me...

User complaining about laptop overheating at home. Asked them where they were using it at home, bed, couch, etc thinking they are blocking the vents. They're reply was they leave it in their laptop bag until needed at home and then when she opens it, there is a message about overheating. I ask how do you power it off. Their reply was "Oh I just shut the lid and put it in the laptop bag"

Easy fix. Force a power policy that hibernates or shuts down the machine when you close the lid.

Typically I disable that due to dock

Set it to hibernate when you close the lid and it is not plugged in to AC?

No I sent them a Document on how to properly turn the laptop off, cc'd HR on it. You can't solve stupid with technology.

I have a user like that. They punished her with another laptop because she's a manager.
