2. In the left pane of Power Options, click on the Choose what the power buttons do link. (see screenshot below)
3. Click on the Change settings that are currently unavailable link at the top. (see screenshot below) WARNING: If you completely disable UAC notification settings, then you might not have the Change settings that are currently unavailable link available, and the "Shutdown settings" would remain greyed out with no way of changing them until UAC is enabled to at least the default setting.
4. If prompted by UAC, then click on Yes.
5. Under Shutdown settings, check or uncheck Sleep or Hibernate to add or remove them from the Power menu in the Settings (Windows+I) screen, then click on Save changes. (see screenshot below) NOTE: If the Shutdown settings are not listed, then you will need to close the System Settings window, enable hibernate, then start back at step 1 again.
6. When finished, you can close the Power Options window.
You might add a warning that if one completely disables UAC, one might not get the Change settings that are currently unavailable, and the options would be greyed out with no way of changing them.

MadeOke,
It looks like either your system does not support hibernation, or you do not have hibernation (S3) enabled in the "Power Management" section of your BIOS setttings.
Could you update your system specs to show what brand and model of motherboard or computer you have? This way we will be able to look up to see what it says about it, and what settings you may be able to set for it.
In the mean time, you could use the tutorial below to help see what sleep states are available for your system.
