No hibernate option in Windows 8.1 Pro tablet even after "powercfg -h on"
Solution 1:
Solved it. The following .REG file enables the Hibernate option for Charm and Win+X menus:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FlyoutMenuSettings]
"ShowHibernateOption"=dword:00000001
"ShowLockOption"=dword:00000001
It's still not listed in Control Panel, but I don't care anymore.
Updated, on another machine I also had to use this .REG file:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power]
"HibernateEnabled"=dword:00000001
And to run this:
powercfg.exe /h on
powercfg /h /type full
