no hibernate option?

[severedsolo]

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?

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.
