Hi, I'm thinking this is related to screen saver/power saving features of Windows 8.
Basically, I lock my screen and walk away (for a non specific amount of time); When I come back, the monitor will have entered low power state (which is set to happen after just 1 minute by default in Windows 8??). When I try to wake it up, the light changes and the screen lights up as if on a blank screen saver, but no lock screen is displayed.
Nothing seems to fix this other than a hard reboot, after which I may not experience the issue again for several days.
Wondered if anyone has experience this or whether it may be related to my specific set up?
Note: This is not the same as "Turn off the display after" setting in CP. Which is set to longer than 1min.
