Lately, i've been getting lots of calls from folks That the "Hibernate" option is disabled in the power menu in Windows 8/8.1.
The power menu doesn't show Hibernate Option. It contains Sleep, Shutdown and Restart options.
Many windows 8/8.1 users are not aware that Hibernation Option is available in windows 8/8.1 because the option is hidden (Microsoft simply disabled it).
The Hibernate Option can be added back to power menu. To get the missing hibernate option back in
Windows 8/8.1, just follow the simple steps below:
** Press Windows + W key to open the settings search menu. Then search for Power Options and select.
** At the left side, click on Choose what the power buttons do option, and a dialogue box would appear, then select Change settings that are currently unavailable option.
** Now, scroll down to the Shutdown Settings and you'll notice that "Hibernate" option is unchecked.
** Check Hibernate box, then apply Save Changes.
The hibernation mode of your system will be enabled immediately and no more hidden in your windows 8/8..
So whenever you want to hibernate your System, simply press "Alt+F4" keys together as usual and you should see Hibernate Mode in the list displayed or move the Cursor to the upper-right corner of your Windows 8/8.1 Screen on your System(or by pressing windows +C, then click on Settings => Power Option and you should see hibernation mode in the list as it show in the screenshot below:
