Windows 8 screensaver and power options don't work..?

Since moving to Windows 8 my screensaver and power options don't work. I have changed the time setting to 1 minute for both screensaver and powering off the monitor, but neither still work..?

Do other power options work like standby after 10 mins (try 10 mins, please)?
If not, does manually going to standby work?

I'll check, but I don't want it to go into standby..? I'll also try it on the admin id..
Update..

On another user profile it worked fine, and since I tried it there, it now works on my main profile, so not sure what the original problem was, but now resolved.. :)

Glad the other profile option worked
Not certain if doing that was the solution, so what do I do about the points..?
Just close and assign the points to the best answer

I did not make the rules do as you wish
Have asked a moderator what I should do..
He told me how to split it, so as you did respond and try to help I've done that..
Not certain what did resolve things, so that is why it is rated as a C..? This is not a reflection on the contributors!
