Windows 8 Showing Black Screen After About 1 Minute Of Inactivity?

Hi There,

I've tried everything that I thought would be safe to do to try and fix this, but so far I've been unable to fix it !

The thing is that I LIKE my display ON when I leave it for 5 minutes or more!!
But unfortunately my windows 8 is Resisting So Hard !

Everything is normal when I'm watching a video file in any kind of players (In this case, your own Microsoft Zune®),
but in any other place like Computer, Music Playing, Control Panel, Documents, Picture Viewing, The Lock Screen and etc, The Screen goes Black ( NOT that my display turns off ) and you have to tap something such as a mouse click or a button of keyboard to restore the screen.

Please Help Me With This.... ( And Fast !)

BTW My Windows is Activated And Has No Other Disabilities !!

Thanx Very Very Much in advance

Poorya

Hi, i'm sure you've tried this, but i was having the same problem and tried tonnes of solutions, this just worked..

My screensaver was set to blank with a 1 minute delay! I didn't set this, it just happened (after a Windows update i think). Anyway, solved it for me.
