In Windows 10/8, by default, the Hibernate option is not activated in the Power Button options. Users may notice that there is no hibernate option in Windows 10/8. The default options available are Shutdown, Restart, and Sleep. I am sure many of us, who use PC's a lot and have multiple programs open all the time, miss the Hibernate option.
You can enable or disable the Hibernate option in Windows, using a command or by using a Fix It. If you want to display the Hibernate option in the Power Buttons options, you can follow these steps.
