Windows 8 does not go to sleep

Hi All,

I have Dell Inspiron 3148 which is running with Windows 8 OS.
Since I have installed Windows Updates, system doesn't go to Sleep Mode.
I tried to wake it up with Mouse and Keyboard but did not work. I checked on web and found that Keyboard and Mouse setting does help in waking up the computer, so I went to settings and checked the option 'use this device to wake up the computer' but nothing has changed.

Please help.

In the search section type power options,look at the list on the left hand side
,and alter the what the power buttons do.

I personally don't like the sleep option it can sometimes lock the
machine.

 

Hi,

I tried but it did not work. I went to keyboard and mouse options properties in Control Panel. Checked the option 'Use this device to wake up the system' and now its working.
