Is the "allow hybrid sleep" option removed from Windows (or is it just mine somehow)?

Question

_{Tuesday, March 29, 2016 5:14 PM}

From the above screenshot (from here), you can see that there is/was an "Allow hybrid sleep" option. With that option, users can disable hybrid sleep while retaining fast startup and/or hibernate available/enabled. However, when I check Power Options on my own installations, this option is missing:

As you can see, I haven't set `powercfg /h off`. It's just that particular option is gone.

So is it just no longer available in Windows for some reason, or is it just mine? If it's the latter, what could be the reason?

Hi Tom,

To my knowledge, “allow hybrid sleep” option is not removed in Windows 10, see this picture.

First of all, try restore default settings in power plan to see the result.

If restore operation doesn’t work, please run powercfg –availablesleepstates command to see what power states your computer supports, maybe the motherboard or BIOS doesn’t support hybrid sleep feature.

Also, there is a possibility that you have configured a settings in BIOS, which called “Suspend to RAM”, if this settings has been configured as disabled, can cause the hybrid sleep option missing.

From my survey, this situation also can be leaded to by driver issue, update your drivers from manufacturer website to test, there is a similar case refers to this point.

Thanks for the `powercfg –availablesleepstates` hint. I think it led me to the reason. It told me that:

    Hybrid Sleep
        The hypervisor does not support this standby state.

And I DO have Hyper-V enabled. Once I have it disabled:

You are welcome, I am glad to hear that you have found out the reason, this point I didn't take into account.
