Similar to Windows 8 screen goes black after a minute

Anyway, I do not have a screen saver set....so...does that mean Windows 8.1, by default blanks out the screen whether a screen saver is set or not?

This is the most annoying advent since, well...since anything. I can't watch a video, let a web page stay on the screen long enough to read a news item or anything unless I have mouse in hand to keep the screen active.

Microsoft is no help, as they say it is somebody elses software causing the "problem".
