@Bins1974, Welcome to the HP Support Community!

Check for any pending windows update. Reboot the computer. 

To enable Hibernate in Windows 10, type: power options into the Search box and hit Enter, or select the result from the top.

 From the left column select Choose what the power buttons do.

Next, if options are grayed out, select Change settings that are currently unavailable.

Scroll down and check the Hibernate box, and after that make sure to save your settings.

Now when you open the Start menu and select the Power button, the Hibernate option will be available.

If the issue persists, 

Press the Windows Key+X > Windows Powershell (Admin)
Copy the below line by selecting it and CTRL+C and paste into Powershell and Enter
powercfg /hibernate on
Copy the below line by selecting it and CTRL+C and paste into Powershell and Enter
powercfg /h /type full

Restart the computer.

Hope this helps! Keep me posted.

Run SFC scan

System File Checker is a utility in Windows 10 that checks for problems with files on your computer. To run it, follow these steps:

• In the search box on the taskbar, type Command Prompt, and right-click or press and hold Command Prompt (Desktop app) from the list of results. Select Run as administrator, and then select Yes.
• Type DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth (note the space before each "/"), and then press Enter. (Note: This step may take a few minutes to start and up to 30 minutes to complete.)
• After you see a message that says "The operation completed successfully," type sfc /scannow (note the space between "sfc" and "/") and press Enter.
• After you see a message that says, "Verification 100% complete," type exit.
• Check for the issue.

If this feature was working fine before, perform a system restore. Refer to this document to know how.

If the issue persists, perform a system recovery.

Let me know how this goes.
