How to Add or Remove "Sleep" or "Hibernate" from the Power Options Menu in Windows 8





Here's How:


1. Open the Control Panel (icons view), and click on the Power Options icon.


2. In the left pane of Power Options, click on the Choose what the power buttons do link. (see screenshot below)



3. Click on the Change settings that are currently unavailable link at the top. (see screenshot below)
WARNING: If you completely disable UAC, then you might not have the Change settings that are currently unavailable link available, and the "Power option settings" would remain greyed out with no way of changing them.



4. If prompted by UAC, then click on Yes.


5. 
Scroll down to the Power options settings towards the bottom. Check or uncheck Sleep orHibernate to add or remove them from the Power button in the Settings (Windows+I) screen, then click on Save changes. (see screenshot below)


6. When finished, you can close the Power Options window.
