on my shutdown menu neither the option to STAND by or the option to hibernate are available Ive looked in the power management window from control panel but there doesn't seem to be an option to enable any more shutdown options. I ALSO checked my bios to see if an option there was causing the issue but it isn't. Am i missing something what?
