I have problems putting Windows to sleep and starting the screen saver on my new Windows 8.1 machine.

Sleep mode and screen savers work only when the computer is first powered up (or restarted). But once it goes to sleep (manually or automatically) and I wake it up later, it wont go back to sleep again and I can't use screen savers either.

I updated the chipset and graphics card drivers. My computer isn't part of a homegroup either. Does anyone else have similar issues?

Thanks for your advice, per
