Had the same problem.

Solution: Control Panel/User Accounts/Reset security policies.

Go to your Control Panel and search Power. Click Change when Computer Sleeps and turn the time up form there. Go into Personalize/Change Screen Saver and set the time to what you want. Click OK for the Screen Saver and Save Settings for the Sleep page. See if this doesn't fix your problem.

Why is this so hard Microsoft? It's pathetic it has taken this long for it not to be resolved.

Seems as if this should just be a setting or something, unless, Uh Oh, there is no setting hence no fix.

Come on guys.
