I wonder if someone would happen to have a brand new 8.1 laptop or a PC with all win 8.1 certified hardware, if that person would experience such issues... Maybe this is it guys: there is a gap between win 8 and 8.1 and our hardware or at least some of it became legacy!
The closest I can come, Orbital, is that this HP Desktop came with Windows 8 and I've done nothing to "customize" it. I updated to Win 8.1 a few days ago and again, have done nothing to customize that.
So far, she sleeps. However, back before she crashed and burned after installing Win 8.1 through the "store", she didn't sleep.
So, I guess it's a no go for what you want here. Although I'm thinking that probably the reason she sleeps now is the December update . . . maybe . . .
