Windows 10: No Sleep Option in Settings or Control Panel. My Laptop Doesn't Sleep.

Not in Settings, not in Control panel.There is no Sleep option in Control Panel\Hardware and Sound\Power Options\System Settings either, the hidden options just have the "Lock" thing under them.It has stopped sleeping when I close the lid, very abruptly. Last change I made to system settings was reset network settings a while ago and after that it just stopped sleeping. I tried updating BIOS, but it says it is already the latest version and I tried doing methods in this thread: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/no-sleep-option/3c9eac75-a3d6-4e94-be81-445982f40fa8Method 1 I

Sleep option

Hi John,

The issue might be due to a disabled sleep to show in Power menu
option in Control Panel.

We would like to ask for some information:

• Did you get any error messages?
• Can you provide us with a screenshot?

In the meantime, please check if the sleep to show in Power menu
option in Control Panel is enabled using the steps below:

• Type Control Panel on the search box and press Enter.
• Select System and Security, then Power Options.
• Click on Choose what the power buttons do.
• Put a check-mark on the Sleep-Show in Power menu box.

We will wait for your response.

That freeware should give you an instant fix, as you've reviewed all options in
Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Power Options

(from 'Additional power settings' in Settings, System, Power & Sleep)

Computer Sleep Option Missing in Settings

The Settings Power and Sleep menu in Settings should list Screen and Sleep, where Sleep is used to tell when the PC goes to sleep. Sleep is missing, so my computer never sleeps. Fast startup and Hibernate are not enabled. I used Tutorial Add or Remove Sleep in Power menu in Windows 10 to change the registry while in administrative mode, but sleep still is not seen. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FlyoutMenuSettings now lists :1: It was 0 before the change.

I cannot get a large image, so will type Default REG_SZ (value not set) ShowHibernate REG_DWORD 0X00000000 (0) ShowLockOption REG_DWORD 0X00000000 (1) ShowLockOption REG_DWORD 0X00000000 (1) I used Option 3 to add sleep using the Group Policy Editor. The steps seemed to work fine, but sleep is still missing. I’m using a “new” refurbished Dell T3500 workstation with mbr running the current version of win10. I have a number of these computers, and the other all have the normal sleep mode . Any suggestions? Jim
