Title: Cannot change Power Settings ; Windows 8.1
Post by: Levente99 on March 15, 2015, 03:11:06 PM
I would like to change the Power Settings on a Windows 8.1 computer. But When I go into the control panel for the power settings, I get a blank screen as shown here:

Then when I click the link "Change when the computer sleeps" I get this screen:

When I click "Why can't Windows retrieve this information?" I get this screen:

How do I configure my hardware to allow me to change the power settings? I have changed the settings before, but currently the computer will not allow me to change the power settings.

Any information would be helpful. Thanks.
