It appears that the Anniversary Update doesn’t get along well with the hybrid sleep state, as many users are reporting this feature is missing altogether from the power option list.

Hybrid sleep is missing in the Anniversary Update

It is worth mentioning that certain motherboards and BIOS systems don’t support the hybrid sleep feature. To see that power states your computer supports, run the command powercfg –availablesleepstates in Command Prompt.

Hybrid sleep is missing – how to fix this

Solution 1 – Restore the default settings in the power plan

Sometimes, a personalized power plan may disable a series of features. To enable the default power plan, follow these steps: 2. Check the Balanced plan > select Change plan settings > Restore default settings for this plan.

Solution 2 – Update your drivers

Make sure both your hardware and software drivers are updated – you can use Windows Update. If there are any new drivers available, install them, restart your computer and then check to see if the hybrid sleep option is available. All your drivers need to be updated, but doing it manually might be annoying, so we recommend you to use a dedicated third-party tool (100% safe and tested by us) to do it automatically.

Solution 3 – Tweak the Registry Editor

  1. Right-click and export HiberFileType as a backup. Disclaimer: this program needs to be upgraded from the free version in order to perform some specific actions.
  2. Now delete the HiberFileType file (if it’s available on your computer).
  3. Make sure the value for the HiberbootEnabled file is 1.
  4. Restart your computer. Hybrid sleep should now appear in your options and work properly. RELATED STORIES YOU NEED TO CHECK OUT:
