Screen saver stopped triggering

[Turkbear]

Hi,
my screen saver has suddenly decided to not start, nor does the screen dim or turn off as specified in the power settings.
I have turned off all the 'live' tiles (with no effect) and have uninstalled the only new program I installed (a FLV viewer from the Microsoft store) with no impact on the issue.
Any ideas as to where to look?
Thanks...

Hi all,
OK, it seems to have been a Windows 8 'quirk'.
When I checked the notification area on the desktop I saw that an Office update was ready to be installed and, after installing it, everything screensaver related returned to normal. Apparently that action, while pending, prevented the screensaver from triggering!
The 'quirk' is that there was no indication on the 'tile/mosaic/whatever' screen about this need.
