Dear All,
Following the installation of the last set of upgrades, the option to
hibernate when I shut down has dissappeared from the combo box.
Any way of putting it back in?

Hi Alex,

Were any of the updates driver updates? If so, you will likely need to
rollback to the previous version (done from the driver tab of the device's
properties from device manager). Loss of hibernation as an option is nearly
always caused by a driver problem.
