Windows 10: Sleep button not available

I have a windows 10 pro PC, and I used to be able to click the start button in the bottom left corner, hit power, and have the option to sleep, restart, or shut down, for a reason unknown to me, the sleep button has disappeared. I tried going into control panel to change advanced power settings and going to "change what the power buttons do", I have gone into the registry editor, I have done everything the internet has told me to do but it still doesn't work. I am trying to avoid doing a clean install of windows, because I have a lot of apps on my PC that would take a lot of time to reinstall, but if that is my only option I will do it. if you have any other ideas, please let me know. thanks!

• Press the Start menu.
• Type Control Panel, and then press Enter.
• At the upper right side of your window, change the View by option to

• Click on Power Options.
• Select Choose what the power buttons do link on the left side of the window.
• Press on Change settings that are currently unavailable.
• Scroll down to the Shutdown settings section. Now check the Sleep checkbox and click Save changes button.

Hi,

The previous update you installed could be the cause as to why you encounter this issue. We would like to ask for additional information. Please provide the following:

• Which build of Windows 10 are you using? To know about it, hit
  Start, type Winver and then press
  Enter. You could also press Windows Key + R, type
  Winver into the
  Run dialog and press Enter.
• Were there any changes made on your computer prior to the issue?
• Can you tell us what troubleshooting steps have you done so far?

Furthermore, we suggest that you check the Power & sleep settings
if sleep option is enabled. Here are the steps:

• Go to Search then key in Power & Sleep.
• On far right, select Additional power settings.
• Select Choose what the power buttons do.
• Check the Change settings that are currently unavailable, then tick
  Sleep and Save Changes.
• If you already ticked it, then un-tick it and Save Changes.
• Go back and tick it again, then Save Changes.
  

Looking forward to the requested information and the results of the recommended troubleshooting steps.

3. Turn "wake computer" from UpdateOrchestrator in Task Scheduler
4. Run all the troubleshooters from windows
5. Reinstalled Windows latest build
6. Tried on older Windows build
