NO SLEEP OPTION

Question

On my windows 10 pro laptop, the sleep option simply disappeared from the start menu. I then looked up on the internet for solutions but when I explored the control panel and the settings, the sleep option was not available in Settings>System>Power and Sleep. It also wasn't available in Control Panel>Hardware and Sound>Power Options>Choose what the power button does>Change Settings that are currently unavailable. After going this deep, the only thing I found was shut down and hibernate. The sleep option has just gone. Please tell me what the solution for this is. Responses will be truly appreciated.

Answer 2

I also now have this problem, and none of the above suggestions helped. I contacted my organization's internal help desk and they said that Microsoft no longer supports Sleep mode. I do not believe that. What is going on?

Method 1: Sleep isn't listed anymore. "Change settings that are currently unavailable." only shows "Turn on fast startup", "Hibernate", and "Lock".

Method 2: Since it is a company laptop, I cannot access gpedit.msc

Method 3: I haven't tried it yet, but will next. It seems doubtful.

Method 4: I tried it, and restarted, but no change.

Method 5: I do not have a "CsEnabled" option in 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power'

Answer 3

Yes reach POWER in step step follow the registry editor Microsoft guide but no "CsEnabled" I look for!

Can you please clarify reason unfound in my Window 10 with 64bit?

Thanks

P.S. all methods I done then restart still only appeared in power setting "Shutdown" and "Restart"😢
