The Sleep option in the Start menu has disappeared in Windows 10. Solved

Question

Hello everyone   Since the last major update of Windows 10 (version 1803), the sleep option in the Start menu has completely disappeared.  Is there a way to make it reappear without uninstalling the update?   Thank you in advance

Hello,  Add "Sleep button action" to power options with a .reg file.  Start by creating a restore point like this  Save this file on the Desktop. Double-click the downloaded .reg file to merge it. Click Run, Yes (UAC), Yes, and OK to approve the merge. Restart the PC.  P.S.: You can also right-click on the reg file Add_Sleep_button_action_to_Power_Options then → Merge    Repeat the process to check if Sleep appears.  If not, right-click on the Start button → Device Manager Graphics card Select your graphics card, then right-click on it → Properties Go to the → Driver → Roll Back Driver tab    If the box is grayed out, go to the manufacturer’s site and see if they offered you a driver Or detect with DriversCloud Be sure to check the certified drivers box and uncheck the beta version box.  Another solution If you have a laptop Right-click on the battery icon > power options --> create a power management plan (this is found on the left) Give it a name.  If you have a desktop PC, go through Control Panel → Hardware and Sound → Power Options.  P.S.: Type in the Cortana search box → control panel to bring up the control panel          A+ -- surgery knife

Hello, Have you checked in the power options of the PC if the Sleep Line is checked?  -- Life is not a river but just a crossing.*

Hello  I did try what you told me, but there is no line for sleep mode, neither in the power options nor in the others, and I've tried many in the control panel.  I really think I've lost sleep mode permanently.  Thank you anyway for the attempt and sorry for the delayed response.

Glad to hear that the graphics card driver has resolved the issue. The provided .reg file prevents you from having to go into the Windows registry to modify or create a key to restore the missing Sleep option, which is important for creating a restore point. If it hadn’t worked, I would have given you the reverse reg file (Add or Remove)    What happened is that during a major Windows update (Windows Update), generic drivers are installed, which are not certified and do not come from the manufacturer.  To prevent this from happening again, ideally, you should disable automatic driver updates. See Malekal's tutorial here This will also prevent modifications to the network drivers, and possibly the audio and others Keep this in mind for next time, that is in 6 months (2 major updates per year) if Microsoft's schedule is maintained. The next one → April 2019 Update (April 2019) or Windows 10 1904  You can do this right now, Windows Update will not install generic drivers Then check from time to time on the manufacturer's website for updates. The main ones: Graphics card, Audio, and Network card. You can also check with DriversCloud or my favorite Mes_Drivers Save the file   Check the box → WHQL Certified Drivers Uncheck the box → Beta Drivers Confirm and start the detection   If you have drivers available, click on the blue arrow   A page usually opens Download/Save the driver   Then install your driver.  Best of luck. Have a great day.  -- pistouri
