No Sleep Mode Option in Power Settings

Hello, I am currently Using "Acer Aspire V" and I have a problem with my Power settings. I want to make my computer sleep once I close the lid or click the power button. But in the "Change What The Power Button Does," settings, there is no longer a sleep option. All I see is:

"Do Nothing"

"Hibernate"

"Shutdown"

No sleep options. It used to be there once I upgraded my Laptop to Windows 10. But it's gone.

How do I make it show up again?

Hello Mr. Debbarma, the options that I saw after clicking on the "Do nothing" was:

"Do Nothing"

"Hiberate"

"Shutdown"

No sleep Mode! How do I restore it?

P.S: The troubleshooting steps didn't work. Sorry about that.

Hello Mr. Debbarma. I figured out the solution to my problem! Just by curiousity!

I went to my device manager. And noticed that my display driver wasn't on my "Intel Graphic's Driver HD". The Intel Driver allows me to put my Computer to sleep. I was currently on my "NVIDIA Geforce Graphic's Driver". This doesn't allow me to put my computer to sleep. 

For those who are watching this, I recommend you use the Intel Graphics Driver!

Thanks Mr. Debbarma! You did help out with something :)
