How to Enable Hibernate Features on the Start Menu in Windows 10

For those that are using Windows 10, you will notice that the Power button located in the Start button only contains the Power off button. Unlike previous versions of Windows i.e. Windows 7 and 8, the power button feature comes with additional features like Hibernate, Log off etc. As a blogger, I hardly turn off my PC, most times I prefer to Hibernate it when am not using it. It’s a good way to save battery when not in use and restore your system to the particular point when it was hibernated.
