I am not sure if this is a Windows 8 issue or an HP Pavilion g4 issue, but on old HP laptops, I used to be able to choose hibernate from the Shut Down Windows window that would appear when I would press alt + F4. Now, my only options are shut down, restart, sleep, sign out and switch user. Is there a way to bring back hibernate?
I have hibernate set up automatically when my computer is inactive for more than an hour, but I also want to be able to manually hibernate the laptop.

The Hibernate option is hidden by default. See How to enable Hibernate mode in Windows 8.
Best wishes,

Re: Hibernating from the Shut Down Windows window
If you typically do not have programs running when you hibernate, check out Delivering fast boot times in Windows 8. The default shutdown method in Windows 8 is a hybrid to enable "fast startup mode".
