Windows 10: The sleep option is missing from my control panel. How can I get this option back?

I have tried updating my graphics and chipset drivers. I have also installed windows and firmware updates. I also tried resetting the power plans and I still cannot get the sleep option back.

Sleep option

Hi John,

The issue might be due to a disabled sleep to show in Power menu
option in Control Panel.

We would like to ask for some information:

• Did you get any error messages?
• Can you provide us with a screenshot?

In the meantime, please check if the sleep to show in Power menu
option in Control Panel is enabled using the steps below:

• Type Control Panel on the search box and press Enter.
• Select System and Security, then Power Options.
• Click on Choose what the power buttons do.
• Put a check-mark on the Sleep-Show in Power menu box.

We will wait for your response.

 

Control Panel Options Missing

There is an option missing from the Control Panel after a major upgrade. What happened to the
Control Panel > All Control Panel Items > Display. The upgrade changed my font size, my icon size also changed some text items to from regular to bold and vice versa. In the control panel display
option mentioned previously I was able to make all these changes. The drop down menu under Display listed such items as Icons, title bars, menus, message boxes, palette titles, icons and tooltips. It also allowed font size change and a selection of either
bold or regular text. Any assistance would be appreciated.

Thank You

 

Computer Sleep Option Missing in Settings

The Settings Power and Sleep menu in Settings should list Screen and Sleep, where Sleep is used to tell when the PC goes to sleep. Sleep is missing, so my computer never sleeps. Fast startup and Hibernate are not enabled.

I used Tutorial Add or Remove Sleep in Power menu in Windows 10 to change the registry while in administrative mode, but sleep still is not seen.


HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FlyoutMenuSettings now lists :1: It was 0 before the change.






I cannot get a large image, so will type
Default REG_SZ (value not set)
ShowHibernate REG_DWORD 0X00000000 (0)
ShowLockOption REG_DWORD 0X00000000 (1)
ShowLockOption REG_DWORD 0X00000000 (1)

I used Option 3 to add sleep using the Group Policy Editor. The steps seemed to work fine, but sleep is still missing.

I’m using a “new” refurbished Dell T3500 workstation with mbr running the current version of win10. I have a number of these computers, and the other all have the normal sleep mode .

Any suggestions? Jim
