Windows 8 screen goes black after a minute

My laptop screen goes black after about a minute of inactivity.

I've already tried setting the Screen Saver to anything other than Blank and increasing the Wait but it still keeps happening.

Also checked my Power Options, the plan I currently have is set to turn the screen off only after an hour.

If I move the mouse or press any key on the keyboard the screen wakes up.

Any other ideas why this is happening and how to fix it?

Solution 1:

You should set your screen saver to None instead of Blank. None maintains the current view. Blank gives you a black screen.
