Windows 10: Windows 10, Sleep/Shutdown

I recently changed from Windows 7, which I loved, to the evil Windows 10. Can anyone tell me how to put the system to sleep rather than shutdown. I do not see an option for sleep as with my Windows 7 version. If my new printer would work with Windows 7 I would change back in NY minute!! Thanks.

Windows 10 - PC locks up on Sleep/Shutdown

Hello,

Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community.

Let's try the below steps and check if it helps to resolve your issue:

Step 1: I suggest you to running troubleshooter for
Power. Follow the steps below:

• Press Windows + X key.　
• Select Control panel.
• In the search box, type Troubleshooter
  and then click Troubleshooting.
• Click on Power and click on next.
  
• Follow the onscreen instruction.

Step 2: I suggest you to follow the steps below and check if it helps:

• Click on Windows button and then go to
  Settings.
• Click on Power and sleep Option.
• Select Additional power settings.
• From the left corner select Choose what the power button does.
• Under power button settings when I press the power button select
  Shut Down.

Step 3: I request you to follow these steps to make sure Network Adapter is not interfering with computer:

• Press Windows Key and
  X Key, select Device Manager.
• Expand the Network Adapter, right click and select
  Properties.
• Under the power management check the box which says “Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power”.
• Press Ok.

Step 4: Create a new power plan and check. The Power troubleshooter checks things like your computer's timeout settings, which determine how long the computer waits before turning off the monitor display or entering sleep mode. Adjusting
these settings can help you conserve power and extend your computer's battery life.
