Click to expand...

again.. adding HIBERNATE to that control panel page is NOT possible. that checkbox adds it to your START MENU Power Button options. there is no way you ever had a Hiberate Drop-Down option on that page. there is, as i've stated, Hibernate drop-down option in the Advanced Power window though.

if you dont want to go to the advanced settings, there is a portable app that will run in your tray and you can set any power option to execute "if idle for xxx min" or on a schedule...

Right click on Start > Terminal (Admin)

Then enter powercfg /a (must be a space before the /)

That will list available sleep states which may/may not include Hibernate. If not in the list then it can be a hardware/firmware issue.
On one of my previous PCs the Hibernate option was removed by Windows and that was it, gone.
