    Hi Stephen Shoup,
    Welcome to Microsoft Q&A forum. I'm happy to help.

    Is Sleep Mode settings available on Power Options, or they're available but blank?

    If you don't see Sleep Mode settings, it's probably that your system does not have enough drivers. Please install GPU driver, and also Chipset driver if necessary.

    If above suggestion cannot help, please give me the screenshot of your settings menu.

    Thank you for your time.
