If I even remotely try to attempt to use the Power Menu, all it will do is turn off my display for maybe about 15 seconds then promptly bring me back to the login screen. I tried looking in my bios to see if maybe it was a fast boot issue but I had no luck. PlayDohBruh

    Standby (S3)
    Hibernate
    Hybrid Sleep
    Fast Startup

The following sleep states are not available on this system:
    Standby (S1)
        The system firmware does not support this standby state.

    Standby (S2)
        The system firmware does not support this standby state.

    Standby (S0 Low Power Idle)
        The system firmware does not support this standby state.

Solution
In case anyone is looking at this in the future, and is completely freaking annoyed at the fact that nothing you did in this thread helped, I found a surefire solution
Was able to resolve this issue by using the following steps to re-create the bcdboot file, please note this will only work on GPT drives, not MBR.

Run CMD as ADMIN

diskpart​

list disk​

select disk 0​ (or 1, depending on where the OS is installed.)

list partition​

select partition X​ (replace X with the numbered partition that is largest in file size)​

shrink desired=500​

create partition efi​

format fs=fat32 quick​

assign letter=H​

exit​

bcdboot C:\windows /s H:

Restart PC, then Sleep/Hibernate should now work. A solution to a really stupid windows bug, and one of the reasons I daily drive Arch Linux now PlayDohBruh

Only do this if you're comfortable with the terminal. Otherwise, don't blindly paste this into windows
