Have a six-month old Lenovo Yoga13 ideapad with Win8.1 and Office2013 installed. Excel "stopped working" suddenly (no other changes). Re-installed Office2013 completely. Excel still not working. Went to SAFE mode and none of the Office suite will start. Nothing helpful on the Microsoft site at...

Ok, now the stuff has hit the fan. Excel opens and then closes with "a problem has caused the program to stop working". I re-installed Office 2013 but it still happens. Is Win8.1 crashing?

After 8.1 update, no change. Brink; Since I still have the problem and the 8.1 installation didn't change it, there is no point to doing a reset is there? So a complete reinstallation of Windows is my last option? Should I contact Microsoft or Lenovo first? Bob

I still need help here. Here is one of two screens that say I have the password protection off. The other screen: So is my best option now to reset or restore Win8? Thanks for any help.

I am using a Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga 13. Can't tell whether 8.0 or 8.1. There doesn't seem to be an app for power management.

Brink (or anyone)? I am still stuck with a sleeping password! Defective copy of Windows8?

When left unattended for 10 minutes or when I select Sleep from the Power option. I am assuming that is sleep. Thanks for trying though!

I checked again. All set to No in both places. Should I give up at this point? It is an annoyance but not critical.

Followed steps with no difficulties. Restarted PC. Put PC to sleep. Still required password.

Local home PC.

I already had the Screen Saver Enable Password unchecked. The User Accounts screen has one user and was listed as Administrator. There is no box to check or uncheck as shown in Step 3 and discussed in Step 5. Now what?

Brink; I appreciate your patience. I have found your tutorial boxes and they are set to NO for requiring password. Still requires password. I think something is wrong with my machine.

I keep saying, I don't know how to get to step 6 when I don't know how to get those screens. In step 2/3 I always get the different screen that I posted. Only that screen (wide rather than tall).

I clicked on that message and it went away, giving me hope. Nope. Still have to use password after sleep. My Control Panel screens don't look like the tutorial but the options are the same. I notice that some things require that I be logged in as the administrator. I am the only one on this...

Ok, I appreciate the help, but where can I find "Advanced Power Plan Settings"? It is not in Control Panel and not in the Start menu. I can't go further in the tutorial without the first step! In Control Panel, Power Options, System Settings, there is a radio button that I have selected that...

where? Where do I find Advanced Power Settings? I have only found Control Panel/Power Options/Settings which seems to be the place but doesn't actually work. I think it is same place because the words you quoted are there. I have that button selected. Still have to use my password.

In Control Panel, Power Options, you can choose to not require a password in the sleep mode. Despite setting it this way, it keeps requiring a password. Bug?
