Windows 10: Hello! After a recent update, I found that the hibernate option disappeared after windows...

I know how to enable the hibernate option via Control Panel\Hardware and Sound\Power Options\System Settings and select "change the settings that are currently unable"Then finally check the box next to "Hibernate" option. However that option itself disappeared. Did Microsoft decide to get rid of it? This laptop does not go to sleep without external power. I need hibernate option. Please let me know if that will be possible. I have read other posts on this and those tricks are not working.

Add Hibernate option to Start Menu

Hi,

Just for clarification, why you can not check the Hibernate option in Settings? Is it grayed out?

For now, we suggest that you perform Power troubleshooter.

• Type Troubleshooting in the search bar and press Enter.
• In the Troubleshooting window, click View All on the left pane.
• Select Power.
• Click Next and follow the on-screen instructions to complete the troubleshooting process.

Kindly update us on the result.
