If you have noticed, the Hibernate option is not displayed on the power settings or the power user menu (Win + X Menu). But luckily, this option can be brought back via Power options control panel settings.
Bring Back Hibernate Option to the Win + X Menu
Step 1. Press Win + R, type powercfg.cpl
and press ENTER
Step 2. On the left panel, click on the Choose what the power button does link.

You can also enable the same using a simple registry tweak. And here’s the code to do that:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionExplorerFlyoutMenuSettings] "ShowSleepOption"=dword:00000001 "ShowHibernateOption"=dword:00000001 "ShowLockOption"=dword:00000001
The above .reg file enables the Sleep, Hibernate and Lock options in the Power options flyout.
