no hibernate option?

ok i know this may sound a little wierd as im on a desktop, but according to powercfg -a my pc can hibernate, there is an option to set it to the power button, but it doesnt show up in the shut down menu,

is there a way to get it on there?

Control Panel > Power Options > Change plan settings > Change advanced power settings.

Hello severedsolo.



Have a look at the tutorial and the "related tutorials" at the end of the tutorial, at the link below.

Hibernate - Enable or Disable

and

Power Button - Start Menu

thanks carl, was overlooking the obvious as usual, had hybrid sleep enabled, thats why it wasnt coming up *doh* rep coing your way

Thank you for the rep and I'm glad I could help. I just happened to be exploring that issue today because I did not know what hybrid sleep was. I disabled both hibernation and hybrid sleep for my desktop.
