missing sleep menu in power

Hi,

Missing Sleep option in Power menu is usually caused by outdated or corrupted device drivers. For us to better assist you, we would like to ask the following:

• Have you made any recent changes on your computer prior to the issue?
• When you check the Power options in Control Panel, did you mean that the Sleep option is not displaying in the Shutdown settings?

If you haven't check the Shutdown settings in Control Panel, we suggest to do so and make sure that the Sleep option is enabled. To check the Shutdown settings, follow these steps:

• In Cortana search, type control panel.
• Choose Control Panel from the list.
• Click System and Security and select Power Options.
• Click Choose what the power buttons do in the left pane of the window.
• Under Shutdown settings, put a tick in the Sleep
  box and click Save changes.

If the Sleep option is already enabled and it still doesn't appear in the Power menu, we recommend that you keep the device drivers up-to-date. For your reference, check this article on how to
update drivers in Windows 10.

Update us with the outcome so we can provide further assistance.

 

How to enable Sleep? Power only gives me Shutdown & Restart


Sleep is probably disabled. Go to Control Panel > Power Options > Choose what the power buttons do > Change Settings that are currently unavailable, now put your eyes at the bottom and you will Shutdown Settings, where an option named Sleep is listed, tick it and save it. Now press the Windows Key and click on Power, it will now list "Sleep" as an option.

Hi Rahul,

If you are experiencing battery drains during Sleep or Shutdown, we need to check your battery settings and perform a battery saving. There are two related categories that we need to visit. These are the Power & sleep. Follow the steps below:

• Open the Action Center and click System.
• Select Power & sleep.
• Choose your desired time for Screen and Sleep.
• Under Related settings, click Additional power settings.
• We will be prompted to Power Options' control panel.
• Select Change when the computer sleeps.
• We need to customize our power plan, choose between Balanced (recommended) or
  Power Saver.

Let's proceed with battery saving, battery saver feature is the same kind of tools that can be found in mobile phones and tablets. It is off by default and won't turn on if your device is charging. These are the steps:

• Go to the Action Center and choose System.
• Click Battery saver.
• Select Battery saver settings. (Note: Battery saver is set to turn on at 20%, but you can set that higher or lower.)
  
• Adjust the Battery saver to your desired percentage.

Using these two processes will definitely improve your battery's life.
