The Hibernate option is missing on my Windows 8.1 Pro Update 1 tablet. It's neither in the Settings Charm (Power menu) nor in the Desktop Win+X menu.
Hibernation itself is enabled with powercfg.exe /h on and it actually works if invoked manually via shutdown.exe /h.
There is no Hibernate option available in Control Panel:
How do I get this option listed?

Solved it. The following .REG file enables the Hibernate option for Charm and Win+X menus:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FlyoutMenuSettings]
"ShowHibernateOption"=dword:00000001
"ShowLockOption"=dword:00000001
It's still not listed in Control Panel, but I don't care anymore.
Updated, on another machine I also had to use this .REG file:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power]
"HibernateEnabled"=dword:00000001
And to run this:
powercfg.exe /h on
powercfg /h /type full
