Windows 8 Professional 32-bit running on Laptop. And the Hibernation option is missing from the Power Options in the System Settings. Even after I enable hidden power features by giving admin privileges.

How can I fix this?

Also the option to enable hibernation is missing from the advanced power plan options.

SOLUTION UPDATE:

Thanks to magicandre1981 and his solution below I have found that you need to enable hibernation using a command prompt.

  1. Get to the Start menu, type 'CMD' this will begin the search.
  2. Press the CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER to start the command prompt with administrative privileges.
  3. Type powercfg -h on and press enter
