Hey guys. I'm having a problem with putting my computer in sleep mode. On the Start Screen if I click on the power logo there is no sleep option. Ive read about this problem and how to fix it but it only gets me a Hibernate button. Do any of you guys know how to get the sleep button back?

Thanks

EDIT: I'm using a Surface Pro 3 and this problem is also preventing me from using the power button.

Have you tried running sfc /scannow & Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth in administrator command prompts ?
Dism first then sfc.
Or sfc then dism then sfc again ?

The only thing I can think of is to refresh or restore.

I hope someone else has a better solution.
