"Sleep" has disappeared from my shut down options, and my power button is suddenly being weird.

When I first got my surface pro 3, hitting the power button would put it to sleep where I could easily resume.

Within just the past day; however, sleep has disappeared and I only have the options of shut down and restart... and furthermore, the power button on the top now puts it in hibernation.

Any clue what may have happened?

It sounds like Connected Standby was somehow disabled. Did you enable Hyper-V, by any chance?

Or install Visual Studio? (It adds the Hyper-V role by default)

I did. I got Visual Studio 2013 for free from the college I attend, and I'd been waiting to install it until I got my Surface Pro 3.

I definitely see Hyper-V everywhere now, but haven't the slightest clue what it is or how to disable it.

EDIT: I'll beat the "Google Search is your friend" crowd to the occasion. Killed it from Windows Features.

Yeah, I found out pretty quickly that it doesn't play well with connected standby, but that will be a very useful link in helping me learn what it's all about when I do get deeply into VS2013.
