I noticed that when I tried to spot those keystrokes using SetWindowsHookEx

Power management key codes are "eaten" by the kernel. They're not passed to
user code - even if the power policy is configured to not do anything when
one of those keys is pressed.
Under DOS, user programs can hook the keyboard IRQ handler - thus can see
the power management key scancodes - before they're processed by BIOS.
