Windows 10: Hibernation timeout is not available

Under Power & Battery section of settings there is a section called "Screen, sleep & hibernate timeouts". I cannot however see any option to make my PC automatically hibernate, even though I have turned it on and I can select it from start menu, and it is available in other drop downs in the "Power & battery" page.Any reason for this?
