No Hibernate after option in Power Settings ( Auto Hibernate)

Hello all,

I am currently operation on Windows 11 21H2 22000.160. And the option of Hibernate after and hybrid sleep is missing. I would like my laptop to automatically hibernate if not used for certain hours. But there is no setting available. The only settings I have available is Sleep after and wake timers. I have already turned on hibernation using powercfg /hibernate on command.
